I think I like this best of all the Katy books because the girls are so "modern" :-D I love Rose Red, I love their club, I wonder when and what they studied, because they present Saturday as the busiest of days, and it wasn't that much to do... but - it's OK :-)

Sweet and interesting, but I like the first book better. However, Red Rose is one of my favorite characters!

I first read What Katy Did in high school and I loved the description of life on a farm like homestead in West (mid west?) America in the latter half of 1800s, it was fascinating for me to read as a YA of a girl my age across time and distance; so new to me! Loved reading of her father, Dr Carr and her abundant younger siblings, of mischief and remorse, adapting to hard obstacles and learning humility and acceptance. One of my favourite books to read when I need a dose of wholesome.
Katy and her next younger sibling Clover are sent to a school for young girls way East, near Connecticut, where they meet some interesting personalities, face challenges in character building and learn to socialise in a new environment. The principles they've learnt at home, from Cousin Helen and their own innate good nature sees them through difficult times.
A good read for a teenager or anyone who likes to read about people in a different era.

This was a wonderful book I read as a child. I excitedly downloaded it to my Kindle as a free ebook, but some of the spelling and layout made me a little uneasy.
Odd to find that, now I have grown, many of the characters are different! because of course they were older than me when I first read them, but of course now I am older than them...
