This is an oldie but goodie that I can't believe I've never read! It's a deceptively simple story about Esther Lapp, Amish girl who is forced by law to attend the local schoolhouse. As the only Plain child there, she feels overwhelmed and out of place. When a pretty blonde girl befriends her, Esther feels guilty—not just for disobeying her father's order not to fraternize with her classmates, but also for the other questions that have been swamping her mind for the first time. PLAIN GIRL is a lovely little coming-of-age book that touches on issues of faith, family, and finding out what you really believe and who you truly are. I loved it.

A somewhat romanticized view of Amish culture but a very sweet story.
