On the character of Betty Leicester, Jewett revealed, “I must own that I took a great liking to her myself when I was writing her.” The book follows the day-to-day life of a sweet, fifteen-year-old girl who spends a summer in a New England neighborhood, and impresses many people with her helpful, sunny nature. In the vein of Little Women, this delightful book is ideal for girls of all ages.
