Faraway Summer

(2) 4-6 Set in the early days of the Fresh Air Fund program, this gentle novel gives us not only a trio of engaging girls but an accurate glimpse of Vermont farm life in the early twentieth century. Twelve-year-old Dossi Rabinowitz boards the train with her journal, a copy of 'Anne of Green Gables', and a great deal of trepidation. The story of two cultures meeting and learning to respect each other is told subtly, with natural dialogue.
