What Katy Did - Susan Coolidge

Katy was a tomboy who was often naughty and rebellious. She was always getting into trouble, but secretly wished that she was beautiful and liked by everybody...Katy Carr is untidy, tall and gangling and lives with her brothers and sisters planning for the day when she will be 'beautiful and beloved, and amiable as an angel'. An accidental fall from a swing seems to threaten her hopes for the future, but Katy struggles to overcome her difficulties with pluck, vitality and good humour.
