About This Book

A young girl resists restrictive family expectations and slips away to town, where she befriends a lively peer and the two exchange identities, sparking a series of social entanglements. Their adventures bring them into contact with several households, provoke a practical joke that escalates tensions, and prompt an amateur investigation by a perceptive friend. The narrative traces misunderstandings, revelations, and confrontations with relatives, examining themes of independence, friendship, and the consequences of youthful impulsiveness, and concludes with reconciliations that restore order while acknowledging the girls' changed selves.
