Summary: The story starts with Rebecca's journey to Riverboro. She is going to live with her two aunts, Miranda and Jane. She is the second oldest of seven children. Since her father died, she is going to live with her aunts to get a better life. She loves to write little poems and songs to entertain her brothers and sisters. She is the one who named their farm Sunnybrook. Her aunts weren't too thrilled to see that she was the one to come and live with them, so they taught her how to sew and cook. They wanted her to be a proper young lady. Throughout the book she grows into a young lady and ends up having to go back home to take care of her mother back home because she fell ill.
I would use this book to reach the hearts of students and interest them in reading. It would be a good book for independent reading time.
