About this book
Eight-year-old Edna Conway has mixed feelings about the city stay her parents have arranged while they travel to Florida for her mother's health. Aunt Elizabeth offers a home, school and the company of cousin Louis. Edna imagines parks and shops, but first she must prepare her beloved doll Ada's wardrobe and say goodbye to her family and pets. A sudden disturbance on the overnight train interrupts her sleep.
Amy Ella Blanchard's children's novel gives small concerns the weight they carry in a child's mind. Clothes, presents and grown-up rules share space with Edna's wish to please others. At a fair she receives a doll intended for Maggie, then eagerly tries to arrange its delivery with Miss Martin's help. The family conversations and practical details make this a useful choice for readers interested in older stories of childhood, generosity and learning to manage unfamiliar surroundings.
