Girl Scouts Rally

When Rosanna and her friends learn that their dear Gwenny is in desperate need of medical treatment they cannot afford, they refuse to accept that nothing can be done. These resourceful girls hatch an ambitious plan to stage a play, pooling their talents to raise the funds themselves. As they rehearse and organize, they also navigate the small dramas of friendship: Elise finds purpose in becoming a Girl Scout while helping Lucille through a difficult family situation, and the scout troop takes on the honor of serving as attendants at a local wedding. The warmth and determination of these girls radiates from every page, capturing a vanished era when young people believed they could change the world for someone they loved. Book Two of a beloved trilogy, this story endures because it reminds us that compassion at fourteen can be just as powerful as compassion at forty.
