Isabel Carleton’s Year
Margaret Ashmun
$20.00

“It is with a thrill of discovery that one comes across an excellent book for girls, and Margaret Ashmun, of the University of Wisconsin, has given us a story, Isabel Carleton’s Year, which is distinctly worth while. Isabel is a high school senior, and her last year at school is crowded with good times, real friendships and wholesome sacrifice. An accident, which nearly becomes a tragedy, furnishes the action which girls demand in their stories. The characterization is refreshing: the scholarly, absent-minded professor; the understanding, comradely mother; the lively little sisters, – are all drawn with vitality. There is an unobtrusive emphasis on the higher thing of life: frequent mention of the books that Isabel read, an atmosphere of genuine culture in her home which unconsciously gives a little different background from that of the usual book for girls.” –The Bellman
