What Katy Did at School

by Susan Coolidge

Overview

Dr Carr's mind is firmly made up. Katy and her little sister Clover are to spend a whole year away at boarding school. A strange place, far from home, but on arrival the girls have an inkling that it might turn out to be rather different from their expectations. One thing is for sure, it certainly isn't going to be dull with a girl like Rose Red as an ally.

Editorial Reviews

A girl's journey from sweltering midwestern plains to the freezing east coast suggests cold can spark an intellectual awakening—Sarah Crown, Guardian

One of my all-time favourite books . . . It's a wonderful book, very easy to read, even though it was published in the 19th century. It's a very lively funny story

I fell head over heels in love with Katy

Katy speaks with a charm and directness that remains as fresh as when it was written
