About this book
Guarding the family's berry patch from a cupola window, Kit spots a visitor she takes for a fruit thief and calls for the constable. Her brisk response soon brings an awkward encounter with her father. This opening gives the farm story its comic energy: a determined girl acts quickly, then has to think about the consequences amid orchards, harvest preparations and the bustle of family life.
Later, letters from home find Kit weighing her visit with the Dean against her longing for familiar faces. At Hope College, she joins the Portia Club and takes part in Shakespeare rehearsals, arguing enthusiastically for dramatic character roles. Izola L. Forrester brings together sisterly advice, homesickness and the pleasure of performing in this children's novel.
