About the book

A 14-year-old country girl, Polly Milton, visits her friend Fanny Shaw and her wealthy family in the city for the first time. Poor Polly is overwhelmed by the splendor and their urbanized, fashionable lifestyles, expensive clothes and other habits she has never been exposed to. Fanny's friends reject her because of her different behavior and simple clothing, and Fan herself can't help considering her unusual sometimes. However, Polly's warmth, support and kindness eventually win the hearts of all, and her old-fashioned ways teach them a lesson.

    It wasn't like Little Women but so sweet and lovely. While I read I mostly felt with Polly. But sometimes I thought: she is too good hearted. Maybe she was but at the way she treated her friends; specially the family she loved so deeply like her own, showed that she was true and full of everything. I was so happy during the pages and sentances that I just smiled. lovely story written so well and lively. sad that it's not as popular as Little Women is.
