Another found deep in storage. The fact I've kept it for so many decades reminds me I used to re-read so much. Nowadays not so much.

Not as well-know as Brink's Caddie Woodlawn, but my best friend and I *loved* this book. We were also two best friends with active imaginations, and the friendship portrayed here rang very true to us.

I’ve loved this book ever since I first read it as a pre-teen- after all, 13-year-old Chrys and Cordy write a “romantical” novel together!! It’s such a pity it’s out of print and so little known compared to Caddie Woodlawn .

oh my stars, I'd completely forgotten about this book! This was like my absolute favorite book when I was in fourth and fifth grade. I am definitely adding it onto my re-reads list!

Thank you, Google and the library, for helping me find this half-remembered book. Cordelia and Chrystal are twelve and torn between childhood and adulthood. I was the kid who loved dolls and was indifferent to boys well after my classmates, so I related to their emotions. At the same time, this took place in the 1930s (I think, based on the hat fashions), so some elements do seem dated to me--I imagine a modern kid would have a harder time.
