Are you a homeschooling parent? Do you hate the question "What grade are you in"?Well, this is a book for you to read with your child. (see chapter 5)

For all of her nine years, fragile Elizabeth Ann has heard her Aunt Frances refer in whispers to her "horrid Putney cousins." But when her aunt can no longer care for her, Elizabeth Ann must leave her sheltered life to live in the wilds of Vermont with those distant relatives.

In the beginning, Elizabeth Ann is shocked by country living--pets are allowed to sleep in the house, and children are expected to do chores! But with country living comes independence and responsibility, and in time, Elizabeth Ann finds herself making friends and enjoying her new family. When the year is up and Aunt Frances comes to get her niece, she finds a healthier, prouder girl with a new name--Betsy--and a new outlook on life.

Understood Betsy has delighted generations of young readers since it was first published in 1917.

This ebook is a digitally remastered copy from the first edition of the publication. It has been preserved in its original typeface with original black and illustrations for your enjoyment. 

At The Living Books Library, you don't just own a book, you own a piece of history.
