In
The Girls of Rivercliff School, Beth Baldwin desperately wants to attend Rivercliff School so that she can become a teacher. The Baldwin family does not have enough money to send Beth to Rivercliff. Unknown to Beth, Mrs. Baldwin sells a family heirloom, giving the family enough money to send Beth to school for one year.
During Beth's first year at Rivercliff, she mends the stockings of the other girls in order to earn money so that she can continue attending Rivercliff. She is ostracized by many of the girls, since she is from a poor family. Beth is unjustly accused of theft, and this worsens her situation.
This is a very good book.
In
A Little Miss Nobody, Nancy Nelson has no idea who she really is. She has attended school ever since she was young, and an attorney, Mr. Gordon, pays for her needs. Nancy is then sent by Mr. Gordon to the very exclusive and expensive Pinewood School. Nancy goes to see Mr. Gordon, but he will tell her nothing. Nancy feels like "Miss Nobody from Nowhere." She is terrified that the girls from Pinewood School will discover her secret.
This is a very good book. I did skim some passages during the second half of the book, but most of the story held my interest well.
