The Sunbridge Girls at Six Star Ranch

In the small town of Sunbridge, Cordelia Wilson and her friends in the Happy Hexagon Club have their world turned upside down when Genevieve Hartley invites them to visit Six Star Ranch in Texas. The girls have never been farther from home, and their excitement builds as they prepare for an adventure that feels both daring and slightly impossible. Miss Sophronia, Cordelia's aunt, can hardly fathom such an audacious journey, but the girls are undeterred. What begins as a story about leaving home becomes something richer: an exploration of friendship stretched across distance, the collision between proper New England sensibilities and wide Texas freedom, and the intoxicating feeling of youth discovering the world beyond familiar streets. The ranch offers riding, wide-open spaces, and a glimpse into a life utterly different from their small New Hampshire town. Porter, best known for Pollyanna, writes with the same warmth and optimism that made her famous, creating a portrait of friendship that feels both period-specific and strangely universal.
