Daddy-Long-Legs
Daddy-Long-Legs (Looking Glass Library)
Daddy-Long-Legs
Ann M. Martin, Jean Webster, Jean Webster
Bright and lively Judy Abbott is an orphan who dreams of escaping the drudgery of her life at the John Grier Home. One day she receives a marvelous opportunity—a wealthy male benefactor has agreed to fund her higher education. In return, Judy must keep him informed about the ups and downs of college life. From horrendous Latin lessons to falling in love, the result is a series of letters both hilarious and poignant. Fans of L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women will relish this American-girl-power coming-of-age story. This gentle romance is the seventh book in the Looking Glass Library series.

Daddy-Long-Legs review by LCS0511
LCS0511

Daddy Long-Legs is kind of like a diary. It's about a girl who goes to an orphanage and then a mystery man, who she calls Daddy Long-Legs, paid for her to go to a college. The book is about her going to college and sending letters to Daddy Long-Legs. She sends letters about her days at school and other things that are happening. College is a whole new experience for her because she meets a few really good friends, she has to get used to something new, goes on her first visit to a farm, and she learns a lot of new things.
