GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST

Kids liked Elnora's tenacity and curiosity. "The people were so real." "I think Elnora did a good job of helping her mom and growing up." "I liked the way Elnora wasn't afraid to touch things like snakes and bugs." Appeals to both boys and girls.

Excellent. Great example of showing rather than telling a story. Characters demonstrate perseverance, dedication, forgiveness and striving for acceptance. Views a turn-of-the-century farming community and environmental concerns from that time period.

Elnora Comstock is determined to attend high school. Although her widowed mother thinks it's a "foolish dream," Elnora is comforted by free-spirited naturalist Mrs. Porter. Based on the book by Gene Stratton Porter.
