Description
Elanora Comstock has grown up going to a country school in the swampland. Her rich but stingy mother is heartlessly rude and belittling to her. When Elanora decides to go to a large public high school in the city, her mother laughs her to scorn. At the school, classmates mock her for her outdated clothing and lack of books, while her mother is content to do nothing to help. When kind neighbors try to assist Elanora by giving her lovely clothing and possessions, she refuses to take them for free from people that she feels she already owes. In an effort to earn money for school tuition, books, and acceptable clothing, she becomes creative with ways to earn money by way of the swamp's resources. Despite her mother's gloomy forecast and obsessive control in her life, Elanora manages to bloom and blossom into a sweet, kind, happy, and ambitious young lady through outlets like uplifting nature and passionate friends. This book combines the love of nature and the act of courage into one wonderful classic tale. 338 pgs, pb.
