Elizabeth lives with her Aunt Harriet and Aunt Francis in the city. Her Aunt Francis is always there to make sure that Elizabeth isn't afraid of dogs, has someone to cry to about how school exams are horrid, and makes sure that she's always understood. But when Aunt Harriet gets sick, Elizabeth--now Betsy--goes to live on a Vermont Farm with Uncle Henry, Aunt Abigail and Cousin Ann. With their New England expressions and hard-working attitudes, Betsy isn't sure how to adjust--but as the seasons go on, she finds life much more exciting on the Putney farm than in the city. 140 pages, softcover. Ages 9-12. Abridged from the original book.

A total life change. That's what Elizabeth Ann gets when she goes to visit her Vermont relatives, the Putneys. First of

all, they call her Betsy, instead of Elizabeth Ann. But they don't just change her name. They change her whole life.

Things she has never done before, she is suddenly expected to dothings like driving a wagon, taking care of kittens,

and doing her own hair. At first Betsy doesn't know what to think. And then she realizes that life on the Putney farm

is much more exciting than life in the prim old city house.
