These two books are set in northern Vermont in the early 1900s. In Doctor, Margaret, who dreams of becoming a doctor, gets some experience during the 1918-1919 influenza outbreak. In Library, Ruby must help her large family after her father's death in a logging accident. Readers will be drawn to these two courageous protagonists and their engaging stories. The books are illustrated with black-and-white drawings. [Review covers these titles: A Doctor like Papa and Lumber Camp Library.]
