In the spirit of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES comes this delightful turn-of-the-century journal of a feisty, imaginative young girl who is finding her voice and the courage to make it heard.
It’s the year 1901, and fourteen-year-old aspiring writer Mable Riley is on her way to fulfilling her dreams, or so she hopes. She’s sure that moving with her sister to a faraway town will bring adventures full of peril and romance to write about! At first, it seems that life in the new town is as humdrum as the one she left behind. But then Mable meets a real writer, one who wears daring fashions and enjoys shocking the townsfolk by sharing her opinions. And Mrs. Rattle has a few shocking secrets as well, including a dangerous plan that may soon bring Mable more peril and romance than she bargained for! Designed as a vintage journal including diary entries, letters, poems, and Mable’s own "Romantic Novel," MABLE RILEY is a reliable record of a young girl’s coming of age at a time of women’s early struggles for independence - a charmingly told tale that is as funny as it is inspiring

I am down in the south this afternoon so I will do a snowy APRIL day Covid porch drop off to crossingguardma. Something to warm her up.
Thanks Sing-song for a covid porsch book swap!
I am hoping to go to the bookcrossing meetup this weekend. First time since covid. I am clearing out books that I have had and for one reason or another am not choosing.
I am taking this book to our monthly bookcrossers meet up at Cravings - the third Sunday of every month- to pass on to the next reader.
This book is back in my hands after the Cravings BookCrossing meetup on Saturday.
