What Katy Did Next

Katy Carr is back, and this time she's leaving Ohio for the green hills of New England. After the long illness that taught her patience and gentleness in the first book, our heroine is ready for adventure. She goes to stay with the Hill family at their picturesque farm, where she finds new friends, new responsibilities, and new opportunities to be bossy, generous, and just a little bit ridiculous. The Carr family is as lively as ever, but Katy must navigate the tricky waters of being a guest rather than a sister, a friend rather than a leader. Filled with the same warmth, humor, and occasional heartbreak that made the first book a beloved classic, this sequel follows Katy as she grows into young womanhood without losing her high spirits or her talent for getting into scrapes. The book captures something universal: the bittersweet experience of expanding your world while still carrying home in your heart.
