"It was Christmas Eve. Big snowflakes fluttered slowly through the
air like white feathers "
"and made all of Heavenly Valley smooth and white and quiet and
beautiful."
So begins the story of two orphaned sisters at Mrs. Monday's
Boarding School. But nothing is heavenly for Nancy and Pamela (aka
Plum): their parents died in a tragic accident years ago, they're
constantly punished by the cruel Mrs. Monday, and they're all alone
for the holidays.
Luckily, Nancy and Plum have each other, and though their prospects
may be bleak, they're determined to change their lot for the
better. If their plan works, the spirited sisters will never spend
Christmas at the cold, dark boarding school again. But what will
they find on the other side of Mrs. Monday's gate?
Adventure, warmth, unforgettable characters, and unexpected
kindness abound in this classic story by Betty MacDonald, which was
originally published in 1952. With illustrations by the acclaimed
Mary GrandPre and an introduction by Jeanne Birdsall, National Book
Award-winning author of "The Penderwicks, " this edition introduces
the spunky, beloved heroines to a new generation of fans.
"From the Hardcover edition."
