Not a "perfect" child, with many fears, she is lonely and upset at the move, but learns to enjoy exploring the countryside, riding her bike thru the dust and around cactus, past drainage ditches. An only child, fairly tomboyish, she prefers helping her father to housework, tho she admires her mothers beauty and fashion sense. Entering a new school system is difficult but eventually makes friends. I think this would be enjoyed by readers of the currently popular American Girl series or Wilder's "Little House" books. Illustrations by Kate Seredy. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The wonderful year was a year of growing up for 12-year-old Ellen who did not think it would be a wonderful one at all when her family left their Kansas home for a fruit farming ranch in Colorado. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

It started out sweet and mostly harmless, but the story took a weird turn with Ellen's near-obsession with the teen boy, and gets even weirder toward the end when the boy starts seeing the beginnings of a 'pretty girl' in the now-12-year-old Ellen. It's all a little icky, to be honest. ( )
