Supplemental Volume to the Works of Alexander Pope: Containing a Considerable Addition to His Private Correspondence (1825)

Amyas world is suddenly turned upside-down. In 1939, Amy and her cat, Bitsy, had to leave good friends in Portland. Because her dad died, her mother went back to teaching school. Momas assignment was a one-room schoolhouse in the country. These farmhouses had no electricity or plumbing. She knew shead hate it. And how would these country bumpkins treat a city girl? On the first day of school, she has a painful and humiliating experience. She meets a friend, Nola, who confides that she has a mysterious guest in her house. A wild horse ride, good farm cooking, and barn dances suggest the country holds excitement, and that even history lessons can be lively at times. While Amy does find country life a lot of fun and makes many friends, she can hardly wait to give it all up for city lights, movies, and hamburgers again!
