Little Colonel at Boarding-School

When the Little Colonel is sent away to boarding school, she discovers that leaving home is both terrifying and exhilarating. Lloyd Sherman has never been far from her beloved grandfather, but with his health failing, she finds herself dispatched to a Kentucky academy where strangers become roommates, lessons come wrapped in mischief, and a girl must find out who she is when no one's watching. The familiar world of Lloydsboro Valley fades to memory as new friendships form, cliques challenge her character, and homesickness hits at unexpected moments. Yet this is no miserable tale of exile, Lloyd meets the challenge with the spirit that earned her nickname, discovering that courage looks different at school than it did on her grandfather's knee.
