We are so pleased to announce our Summer Book Box title selection is What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge.
Published in 1872, What Katy Did is the story of Katy Carr, who has some growing up to do. There are lessons to be learned the hard way, but thankfully she's imaginative and resourceful. Katy has many opportunities to grow in strength (in more ways than one!). With lovely domestic scenes, this middle-grade novel paints a vibrant picture of the joys and sorrows of life in 19th century Ohio. It's going to be lovely to settle in to this story together this summer.
Summer is the perfect time for the nostalgia of childhood summer reading!
