Book Excerpt: 
. . .Berry unlocks the door, there they sit, studying away; and Mrs. Searles looks so disappointed! I thought I should die one night, Mary Andrews and I laughed so."

I verily believe that if Dr. Carr had been present at this conversation, he would have stopped at the next station, and taken the girls back to Burnet. But he did not return from the smoking-car till the anecdotes about Berry were finished, and Lilly had begun again on Mrs. Florence.

"She's a sort of queen, you know. Everybody minds her. She's tall, and always dresses beautifully. Her eyes are lovely; but, when she gets angry, they're perfectly awful. Rose Red says she'd rather face a mad bull any day than Mrs. Florence in a fury; and Rose ought to know, for she's had more reprimands than any girl in school."

I first read What Katy Did in high school and I loved the description of life on a farm like homestead in West (mid west?) America in the latter half of 1800s, it was fascinating for me to read as a YA of a girl my age across time and distance; so new to me! Loved reading of her father, Dr Carr and

I’m continuing with the What Katy Did series since I have the first three books! What Katy Did at School is a direct continuation of What Katy Did, and so will have spoilers for the first book.

At the end of What Katy Did, Katy has recovered from her prolonged illness and can finally stand and walk a

Another sanctimonious Carr family book, in which Katy and Clover teach the other girls at boarding school (which they only go to for ONE YEAR because having made them go against their will, Father decides he "can't spare them at home" and, besides, the starving poor relative he got to housekeep and

Here's the sequel to What Katy Did and it does not disappoint!

Katy and Clover go to a girl's boarding school. It's a real test of character though, as they see many girls doing things that are not right or that are inappropriate. And then when Katy gets accused of doing something she didn't do, it

What Katy Did at School is a sequel to “What Katy Did”, and written a year later, in 1873. Like many girls, I read and enjoyed these novels about the Carr family, written by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, using the pen name Susan Coolidge. The style and concerns are rather like those of “Little Women”, the
