About This Book
Two eleven-year-old girls from contrasting social backgrounds meet on a long train journey and quickly form a close friendship that leads them into intertwined family and social situations in a small New England town. Their alliance prompts role reversals, comic and tense encounters with relatives and guardians, and a series of moral tests, misunderstandings, and reconciliations. Through episodes that include mistaken identities, secret letters, and a stormy night that forces difficult choices, both girls confront pride, remorse, and loyalty. The story follows their mutual growth and the gradual repair of relationships, concluding with restored harmony and prospects for continued companionship.
