"Katy Carr is impulsive, gangly, adventurous, and brave. She loves clambering over fences, sitting on roofs, making up games, or going for picnics with her younger brothers and sisters. But when she has a horrendous fall from a swing she has been ordered not to play on by her abominable Aunt Izzie, she's confined to her bedroom - maybe forever.
Thank goodness for her caring cousin Helen who guides her through the pain, to a better place - one she's never been before. .
This coming-of-age story by Susan Coolidge, is set in a small American town in the nineteenth century. But it continues to entertain audiences today, from all around the world.
With the vocal mastery of award winning Stephanie Poppins, who 'inhabits ever character as though they are her very own', this is a must have for those seeking quality without exception.

"Tall, gangly, and tomboyish Katy was badly injured in an accident which has left her partially paralysed. This has been tough on the wild girl, who is no longer able to play with her siblings or roam around nature the way she used to. But Katy has now regained some feelings in her legs, and can finally start to slowly walk again. Her father feels she is healthy enough to start school, so he sends her off to be educated. It is with mixed emotions that Katy goes. Starting school will be exciting, but won’t she miss her siblings too much to learn anything?
This is the second book in the Katy series, which has been elected one of the best children’s books by its readers. The series takes place in 1860's Ohio.

""Imagination is like a sail, as Mr. Joyce had said that evening; but sails are good and useful things sometimes, and carry their owners over deep waters and dark waves, which else might dampen, and drench, and drown." Twelve year old Isabella Bright is endowed with just such an imagination and spends her time amusing herself and her friends with stories. Will her imagination be called upon to help her navigate tempestuous seas? - Summary by Lynne Thompson"
"What Katy Did is a children's book written by Susan Coolidge, the pen name of Sarah Chauncey Woolsey. It follows the adventures of Katy Carr and her family, growing up in America in the 1860s. Katy is a tall untidy tomboy, forever getting into scrapes but wishing to be beautiful and beloved. When a terrible accident makes her an invalid, her illness and recovery gradually teach her to be as good and kind as she has always wanted. (Summary by Wikipedia)"
"Candace makes the first long trip of her young life alone. Everything is new, from the ocean views, to the fashionable people she encounters; from the museum-like home, to the unfamiliar cousins. How will she adapt to the new experiences and will she overcome the homesickness she feels? Will she adapt her country ways and enter society, or be an embarrassment to her fine relations? Etiquette and style can be learned; but kindness, common sense and a loving heart are inbred. (Summary by Lynne Thompson)"
"Librivox volunteers bring you 15 readings of On the Shore by Susan Coolidge, author of What Katy Did. This was the weekly poem for the week of March 1, 2015. - Summary by Rachel"
"'To-morrow I will begin, thought Katy.' Twelve-year-old Katy Carr desperately wants to be good. But being a wild and hot-headed tomboy, it seems so much easier to start being good tomorrow than it does today. Even when her kind and patient invalid cousin comes to visit, Katy’s resolution to change only lasts a few hours. But soon she will have much more in common with her cousin than she wished and it will confine her to her room perhaps forever. Will it make her finally able to uphold her promise? Author Susan Coolidge’s ‘What Katy did’ (1872) was published by the same publisher as ‘Little Women’ by Louisa May Alcott, and speaks to the same audience of people who enjoy well-written girl characters. The most recent film adaptation saw Alison Pill, Michael Cera and Megan Follows (‘Anne of Green Gables’), and the book has made its mark on popular culture too, lending its name to a The Libertines song and two episodes of the hit show ‘Lost’.
