Synopsis ~

When Pa decided that they were going to have to move into town so that he could learn the ways of the new roller mill, eight-year-old Bertie and her older sister May were downcast. Who would be their friends? What would their new school be like? Would they have to act like “little ladies” all the time? Born and brought up in the Ohio countryside, the two pigtailed sisters dreaded the thought of leaving it. But Loudenville was not only different; it was exciting and full of happy adventures. A big four-room schoolhouse, a Pie Feast, new friends, their very own fair-sale – and then Pa announced that they just might be moving back to the country again!
