Illustrated by
Lynd Ward.
When sixteen-year-old Thankful Curtis--uniquely bonded to her family's small coastal Maine island--is sent to boarding school on the mainland, she struggles, then triumphs. Will she be seduced by civilization, or return to Bright Island? This seventy-fifth anniversary edition of the 1938 Newbery Honor book retains Ward's original bold illustrations, which aptly reflect Robinson's heightened portrayal of the natural world.
