(publ. Thomas Y. Crowell Co.)

Plot overview

While the first two volumes are something like collections of vignettes about Betsy, Tacy, and Tib, this one has a story through the whole volume.

The girls are competing with Betsy's and Tacy's older sisters about having a Queen of Summer. When they go out to collect votes, they find themselves making friends with a surprising little girl their own age in the Little Syria section of Deep Valley, Minnesota.

Trivia

Betsy and Tacy first sing their "Cat Duet" at the school entertainment in this book.

gollark: Probably perception of coolness is partly grounded in social status (or something like that) of the thing, and harder to obtain (e.g. expensive) things have more of that.
