About this product
Product Information
"Schlitz has crafted another exquisite literary gem, one told entirely via Joan's vivid, humorous, and emotionally resonant diary entries." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart and her hope out into her diary -- because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of: a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force, available in paperback.

Reviews
The beauty of this novel is that it dares to go beyond the school-is-cruel and paranormal-dystopian-romance conventions and lets its adolescent heroine think on the page about what makes a human being whole: art, love, faith, education, family, friendship. -The New York Times Book Review Written as a diary, the first-person narrative brings immediacy to Joan's story and intimacy to her confessions and revelations. The distinctive household setting and the many secondary characters are well developed, while Joan comes alive on the page as a vulnerable, good-hearted, and sometimes painfully self-aware character struggling to find her place in the world. A memorable novel from a captivating storyteller. -Booklist (starred review) The diary format allows Joan''s romantic tendencies full rein, as well as narrative latitude for a few highly improbable scenarios and wildly silly passion. Tons of period details, especially about clothing, round out a highly satisfying and smart breast-clutcher from this Newbery-winning author. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Joan is reminiscent of heroines like Anne Shirley, Jo March, Cassandra Mortmain, and her own favorite character, Jane Eyre...Her overactive imagination, passions, and impulsive disregard for propriety often get Joan into trouble, but these same qualities will endear her to readers everywhere. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Coming-of-age drama and deeper questions of faith, belonging, and womanhood are balanced with just the right blend of humor. A wonderful look into the life of strong girl who learns that she needs the love of others to truly grow up. -School Library Journal (starred review) The book is framed as Joan's diary, and her weaknesses, foibles, and naivet come through as clearly-and as frequently-as her hopes, dreams, and aspirations...by the end readers feel as if they've witnessed the real, authentic growth of a memorable young woman. -The Horn Book (starred review) Fans of Little Women , rejoice. Janet''s impassioned diary, inspired by Schlitz''s own grandmother''s journals, explores themes of faith and feminism, love and literature, culture and class in early 20th-century America, all the while charming readers with a vivid cast of characters. -Shelf Awareness (starred review) What a heroine, not just for the early 20th century, which Ms. Schlitz skillfully evokes through Janet's impressions, but also for our own time. An unsophisticated girl who thirsts for education, an impulsive idealist who, when she errs, passionately seeks to put things right: Janet Lovelace is an utterly endearing young woman on whom not a second of youth, it seems, will be wasted. Brava to Laura Amy Schlitz, whose enchanting writing has brought such a spectacular character to young people's literature. -The Wall Street Journal An enlightening portrayal of a young girl's struggle to assert herself at a time when women's rights were just beginning to be established...Joan's strength and determination, despite the expectations of a young woman's attitude and behavior at the time, are inspiring to young readers. Readers of all ages will find her an appealing heroine. -VOYA ...fans, who appreciate historical fiction as intelligent as it is entertaining, will be well pleased. -Bulletin of the Center for Children''s Books Joan is a true heroine with whom readers are sure to sympathize, and her exciting and humorous adventures will keep readers engaged. Written in diary form with the Voctorian eloquence reflecting Joan''s love of Jane Eyre , this novel is sure to inspire girls of any background and lead to greater understanding of Jews and Judaism. -Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter [Joan''s] determined earnestness will lead readers to root for her... -Star Tribune "The Hired Girl" is a tender, utterly captivating story about a girl grasping onto small kindnesses and trying to better herself-a classic American story. -San Antonio Express-News

Book was new and the price was great. It had a black mark across the bottom on the outside edge. Not a big deal to me at all but to some it may be.
