About this book
On a frosty October morning in Frederickstown, Jane Lambert would rather linger under her quilt than face school or her father's strict rules. Around her, the household is already busy, and the family bakery has a future to settle. Her mother hopes that Carl will inherit the business, but both Carl and his father want him to become a lawyer. Shirley Watkins places these competing wishes among the smells of fresh baking, familiar town streets and the bustle of a large family.
Jane's habit of taking an interest in other people's affairs brings a different kind of trouble. In a later scene at a dance, her plans draw sharp teasing from Paul, while she begins to fear that another attempt to help has gone wrong. This children's novel offers family disagreements and comic social tangles, with particular appeal for readers who enjoy outspoken young characters learning how complicated good intentions can become.
