Meet Samantha – An American Girl by Susan S. Adler
Amazon writes: “Samantha Parkington is an orphan who lives with her rich grandmother in 1904. There are many servants in Grandmary's busy, bustling household, but there is no one for Samantha to play with. That's why she's so excited when Nellie moves in next door. Nellie has come to work so that she can send money back to her family in the city. Even though their lives are different, the two girls become good friends. One day Samantha discovers that Jessie, the seamstress, is leaving. No one will tell her why. So she and Nellie plan a secret midnight adventure to find out.”
Family Favorite
I love this series. The illustrations are great and the vignettes precious. Stories of life in 1904 bring history to life in a delightful way for a nine-year--old. Another great thing about these books is the connection of Grandmothers, Aunts and Uncles. At the end of the book the author includes “A Peek Into the Past which contains a short history of life in 1904 with pictures.”
