About This Book

Four lively sisters share an old house and return to school, where their days blend cheerful mischief, household chaos, and community entertainments. Episodes range from pet goats and a pig to practical jokes, crackers launched through a transom, skating races, a Christmas party, a backyard circus, and encounters with a mischievous boy and eccentric relatives. The narrative stitches short scenes and schoolroom episodes into a series of domestic adventures that emphasize resourcefulness, close companionship, and lighthearted problem solving, as the girls navigate friendships, small scandals, and seasonal festivities on their way toward brighter prospects.
