Customer Reviews

A favorite from my childhood

I used to borrow this book from the library over and over! (About 20 years ago...) I couldn't remember the correct spelling of the character's name - so I've had some difficulty finding it. I'm so happy to finally find it! It was absolutely my favorite childhood book for a few years (probably from about age seven to ten). It's poignant and sweet and I recommend it for any young girl who likes classics and is a bit of a dreamer. It's quirky - like The Ordinary Princess (another one of my childhood favorites).

A childhood favorite

I was so disappointed to hear that this book has been taken out of print. It was a favorite of mine when I was in grade school (probably third grade or so).The book details the adventures of Luvvy and her boarding-school classmates in early twentieth-century Maryland. Luvvy is a bit of a tomboy, and she is constantly getting into trouble. While she is a constant source of concern to the nuns who run her school, Luvvy has a good heart. She befriends a lonely orphan named Agatha and takes her along on her crazy adventures. This is a wonderful book to give to a little girl who loves to read and doesn't quite fit into the traditional feminine mold.
