Mable Riley: A Reliable Record of Humdrum, Peril, and Romance

281 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2120-X $$15.99
(2) 4-6 Clearly a kindred spirit to Anne Shirley, Mable Riley joins the roster of spunky rural turn-of-the-century schoolgirls. The book's social issues (women's equality, worker's rights) are given a realistic shades-of-gray treatment, the diary format is handled adroitly, and the diarist herself is engaging and many-faceted.
