When Katy Carr and her sister Clover leave for an East Coast boarding school, they do so with trepidation. They can’t but help worry about how their father will manage without their help? Like all teenagers they also worry about if they fit in, and if they don’t, what will become of them? Will they make new friends?

When the Carr girls arrive, they meet the principal, Mrs Florence, who is tall, dignified and very strict: there are no less than thirty-two rules that students must adhere to! And with Miss Jane always on the prowl, snooping to discover the slightest fault, Katy fears that it might be more difficult to stay out of trouble than she’d hoped.

But then Katy meets Rose Red – irrepressible, unconventional, and always full of fun. With the right friends, Katy can’t help but get into all sorts of scrapes.

This the sequel to “What Katy Did”, and is book 2 in the “What Katy Did” series.

Acerca del autor

Sarah Chauncey Woolsey was an American children's author who wrote under the pen name Susan Coolidge.

Woolsey was born January 29, 1835, into the wealthy, influential New England Dwight family in Cleveland, Ohio. Her father was John Mumford Woolsey (1796–1870) and mother was Jane Andrews. She spent much of her childhood in New Haven Connecticut after her family moved there in 1852.

Woolsey worked as a nurse during the American Civil War (1861–1865), after which she started to write. The niece of the author and poet Gamel Woolsey, she never married, and resided at her family home in Newport, Rhode Island, until her death. Co-incidentally Louisa May Alcott also worked as a nurse during the same conflict.

She is best known, for her classic children's novel, What Katy Did (1872). The fictional Carr family was modeled after the author's own, with Katy Carr inspired by Susan (Sarah) herself, and the brothers and sisters modeled on Coolidge's four younger Woolsey siblings.

What Katy did at School and What Katy Did Next followed What Katy Did.

She also edited The Autobiography and Correspondence of Mrs. Delaney (1879) and The Diary and Letters of Frances Burney (1880).
