by Marguerite DicksonWhen seventeen-year-old Isabel Worthington and her family move from Shanty Row to the house on the Point, the girl feels that it is at last a turn in the long hard road they have known for ten years. They have the house but little else, and much must be done before the family can regain its lost standing in the little Maine town. Isabel gets a job driving the boys and girls from the Point to high school in the village. Sil, next to Isabel in age, finds a Saturday store job, and Roddy helps where he can. The twins, May and June, and Algy, the baby, are too young to lend a hand. Father has dreams of great things, but his pride in what his family was once prevents him from taking jobs he considers unsuitable. Finally persuaded to take charge of the town dump, he comes into conflict with a powerful unknown opponent, who tries to wreck the whole clean-up place. It is Isabel who undertakes to learn the identity of the enemy. Isabel discovers that the library, badly managed and almost without funds, is really the Worthington Memorial Library, given in memory of her great-grandfather, by a wealthy cousin of her father, who had left the town years ago. There is no money for its upkeep and Isabel, who helps in the library as a volunteer, starts an enthusiastic drive for funds. Everywhere she finds things to be done--friends for Sil, success for Father in something, and new interests for Mother. By the end of the year there have been many turns in the road, and the future looks bright. This is another fine warm story of Maine, by an author who has built a solid place in the affections of older girls. A real story of real people. This is a Junior Literary Guild selection, chosen as an outstanding book for older readers (B Group).
