In the first book, we see how, slowly, the child Rebecca is able to bring change to her surroundings; these changes continue in the New Chronicles. Rebecca is an imaginative girl who writes poetry and stories constantly, but struggles to work within her environment (e.g., the same displeasing porcupine quills in her hat instead of lovely, yet extravagant feathers). Her winning ways save the stolen flag for the town’s flag ceremony, and help her to find friends throughout the town – but her overzealous missionary efforts result in the offense of a curmudgeon who neglects to attend church as regularly as he ought.
