Review: Another very good Felicity story : This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Felicity Merriman, a nine-year-old girl living in the America of 1774. In this book, Felicity's romping and playing causes trouble when she soils the washing of Mrs. Burnie, the crabbiest woman in town. Felicity know that it is up to her to make restitution for what she did, so she volunteers to clean the clothes she muddied. But working with Mrs. Burnie presents Felicity with something of a mystery; Mrs. Burnie is hiding something, and Felicity accidentally finds out what.The final chapter of this book contains an interesting look at the history of eyeglasses, and has a project to make lorgnettes. This is another good Felicity story. My daughter and I value Felicity's honesty and helpfulness. We both liked this story and recommend it to you.
