Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher
5.0
Just finished this for the second time. The first read was when Caleb was in 4th grade. This time we all read it together (even Marc). I love it as much as I remember.
The main character has grown up pampered and coddled her whole life, and because of an emergency health situation she is sent to be with the (horrors) Putney cousins in VT. There Betsy comes alive and learns to think because the adults she is with expects her to be able to do and think for herself. It is even more lovely than watching a butterfly's first flight.
