Since her illness Harriet had looked all eyes, hair, and legs, and seemed to have no face at all-so much so that her brothers Alec, Toby and Edward said she had turned into a daddy-longlegs. She was a thin child with big brown eyes and a lot of reddish hair that did not exactly curl, but had a wiriness that made it stand back from her face rather like Alice’s hair in Alice in Wonderland. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.Įven when the last of the medicine bottles were cleared away and she was supposed to have “had” convalescence, Harriet did not get well. Adult readers may remember the "Shoes" books from You've Got Mail! This beloved children's classic is the perfect gift for girls who dream of spending days at the ice rink and becoming a figure skating champion. Suddenly Lalla and Harriet seem headed in two very different directions. But just as Lalla’s interest in skating starts to fade, Harriet’s natural talent begins to emerge. Harriet is energized by talented, funny Lalla, and Lalla in turn blossoms under the affection of openhearted Harriet. Although they have little in common, the girls form a fast friendship. For on her very first day at the rink, Harriet meets orphaned Lalla Moore, who is being brought up by her wealthy aunt Claudia to be a skating champion. It's a stroke of great luck when Harriet Johnson’s doctor prescribes skating after an illness that has left her feeling frail and listless. Read the classic that has captivated generations!
