Illustrated by
Beth Peck.
It's 1893, and Lillie is intrigued with her new neighbor, fifty-year-old Frances Willard--the real-life educator, women's suffragist, labor-rights advocate, and would-be bicyclist. Kurtz packs a surprising amount of history and drama into this agreeable, easily read story. Author's notes explain that "nearly every word Frances Willard speaks in this book is based on something she really did say or write."
