Jean Webster — best known for the beloved Daddy-Long-Legs — brings her considerable warmth and comic spirit to the world of the girls’ boarding school in Just Patty (1911). Patty Wyatt is an incorrigible schemer, a fiercely loyal friend, and the energetic engine of every misadventure her school has ever survived, and Webster follows her through each one with obvious and contagious delight.
Funny, affectionate, and full of the particular energy of youthful high spirits, Just Patty belongs on the shelf alongside the best of the school-story tradition. Download this free EPUB and report immediately to Saint Ursula’s.
