About this book
Alene Dawson longs for company while visiting her Uncle Fred at the imposing Tower House. When his dog frightens three girls gathering apples in the orchard, she calls him off and begins making friends. Laura Lee, her sister Nettie, and Ivy Bonner introduce Alene to a livelier world of shared jokes, green apples and club rules. Laura offers to bend the Happy-Go-Luckys' age requirement so that their lonely new acquaintance can join.
Friendship in this children's novel involves learning to notice other people's needs. At a show, Alene sees that large hats are blocking the children's view and removes her own, prompting Laura and Ivy to follow. The scene turns a small social inconvenience into a test of consideration.
