Main Street Flora and Ruby were not pale waifs shivering under threadbare blankets. They were just Flora and Ruby Northrop, whose parents had died in a car accident and who were now going to live with their grandmother, Min, in Camden Falls.
How I Spent My Summer Staycation
Hi, readers, and welcome back to a new school year! When I was in elementary school, one of our first assignments each September was to write an essay on how we had spent our summer vacations. I always enjoyed writing mine, and it was fun to learn about what the other kids had done. In fact, I still enjoy hearing about the adventures my family, friends and neighbors have had on their own vacations.
