The long-awaited and highly anticipated sequel to the Newbery Honor
winner Our Only May Amelia, by the bestselling and cherished author
Jennifer Holm.
May Amelia Jackson captured readers' hearts in the Newbery Honor Book
Our Only May Amelia. Now, after more than ten years, Jennifer Holm is
bringing this beloved character back in a beautifully written story
that's both heartbreaking and hilarious.
May Amelia lives with her pioneer family on a farm in 1900, but she just
can't act the part of a proper young lady--and it doesn't help that she
has seven brothers and a Pappa who proclaim that Girls Are Useless. May
Amelia jumps at the chance to earn her father's respect when he asks her
to translate for a gentleman who's interested in buying their land and
making them rich. But when the deal turns out to be a scam, Pappa places
all the blame on May. It's going to take a lot of *sisu--*that's Finnish
for guts--to make things right.
