Luvvy and the girlsmokers
Which is the convent school in the story and Savage is the author s middle name So now I m convinced that her family really did go to this school and it s not entirely fictitious but based on family stories and actual events Perhaps the girls really did march by two on a long trek to a cemetery to gather violets Perhaps they were allowed to spend a nickel each Saturday on ice cream cones and pickles Pickles really seem to have been a popular snack in the olden days At least according to this and All of a Kind Family Pleased to say this held up and was just as enjoyable Childrens Books I read this book so many times as a child.
Luvvy and the girlsmokers
I know I read this back in the mid 90 s but I don t remember anything else about it except that I really liked it Childrens Books a sequel to The Half Sisters Childrens Books My absolute favorite book as a middle schooler Childrens Books B children s early 1900s mom s stash discard Childrens Books I loved this book but it was too short Childrens Books Twelve year old Luvvy is delighted that she is at last old enough to accompany her older half sisters to boarding school A sequel to The Half Sisters Luvvy and the GirlsLuvvy has finally joined the coveted boarding school she wanted to go to She s homesick at first but becomes best friends with Agatha and learns to accept people the way they are Childrens Books Yesterday afternoon I had a friend over and we were looking at some of my old cherished children s books I told her all about this one as it was one of the first boarding school books I read and I loved it very much After she went home I picked it up and ended up just quickly reading the whole thing Guess what Just as good as I remembered And I m going to say although I often laugh at the old fashioned books I can see from my adult point of view that it was a really good book The things I so vividly remembered about the book were all there fascinating cloistered nuns strict rules a poor homely orphan and a goody goody Objectively speaking it s a good story about a girl going away to school being homesick figuring out who her friends are One thing I think I had not noticed until yesterday is that the girls in the story have the last name Savage and the dedication is to the Pupils of the Frederick Academy of Visitation that when I finally visited Maryland a couple of years ago lines from the story popped into my head I still love this the second story about Luvena Savage following her first year in a convent school Childrens Books So far I have been reading a lot of children s books this summer When I was growing up I read many of Natalie Savage Carlson s charming and engaging books Luvvy and the Girls was one of my favorites I borrowed it quite a few times from the Scranton Library in Madison Now I have my own copy so I can re read it whenever I want Childrens Books This starts where the first book left off It details Luvvy s adjustment to boarding at Frederick Academy of the Visitation which is still around but no longer a boarding school and no longer run by nuns I liked this book a lot than the first one Luvvy short for Luvena seemed much likeable and relatable I especially enjoyed the attention given to her love of writing and making up stories I even thought the illustrations were better in this book even though they are by the same artist There are fewer poodle like hairdos in them Some of the references to the girls feeling as if they were sinning when they re not etc kind of feeds the erroneous stereotype that Catholicism is all about scrupulosity and guilt However the overall presentation of the faith was pretty innocuous As a side note I agree with Luvvy about preachy books Blech I m all for evangelizing the imagination but doing so at the expense of any artistic merit defeats the point Reading about Luvvy s transition and the simple adventures that she has as she tries to adjust and make friends was really delightful I love that she found an unexpected friend in Agatha So yes I liked this one Childrens Books
