(4) 4-6 Elizabeth ("Littlebeth") is sent to San Francisco to live with her maiden aunt, attend a private school, and reform into a proper young lady. Shortly after, the city is devastated by the earthquake of 1906. Littlebeth's quick thinking and resourcefulness are indispensable as she prevails upon opera singer Enrico Caruso to rescue her. A fast pace and diverse cast compensate for occasionally unsubtle storytelling.
