Story Girl

Sara Stanley is only fourteen, but she can weave tales that are impossible to resist. In the charming town of Carlisle, children and grown-ups alike flock from miles around to hear her spellbinding tales. And when Bev King and his younger brother Felix arrive for the summer, they, too, are captivated by the Story Girl. Whether she's leading them on exciting misadventure or narrating timeless stories from the scary "Tale of the Family Ghost" to the fanciful "How Kissing Was Discovered" to the bittersweet "The Blue Chest of Rachel Ward" the Story Girl has her audience hanging on every word.

When Sara returns to Carlisle to spend the winter with the King family, she comes up with a great idea. To help them through the dreary months ahead, she, Felicity, Cecily, and Dan will publish a magazine.

Written by Lucy Maud Montgomery; the Canadian author who is perhaps best known for her novel Anne of Green Gables. The Story Girl and its sequel The Golden Road follows the adventures of Sara Stanley and her young cousins who live in rural Canada. A fascinating novel of the period that is still an interesting and entertaining read today.
