Susan Coolidge
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Katy Carr always gets in trouble for everything. When her mother died, she told Katy to be a mother to the little ones. But it seems like Katy can't do anything right. Her Aunt Izzie always scolds her, so one day Katy decides to ignore her aunt's command and ride the swing in the barn. Suddenly, something cracks, Katy feels like she's falling, and everything goes dark. (Summary by Esther ben Simonides)

Reviews
The best story in the world!
Esmeralda
This is a wonderful story. Not only because of the way Susan Coolidge wrote it, but because of the way that you did the reading of the book. With Adele de Pignerolles as Katy, when she speaks, I feel as if she and everyone else are in the room with me. Michele Eaton’s accent was a little bit hard to get used to, but after you get used to it, she makes the story even more fun and realistic. Thank you for doing this story.
Lovely family reading
