Teenage Ruth Porter, the middle child of two sisters, struggles with her tall and thin stature in contrast to her siblings, especially the older Janet. Ruth begins to imitate Janet, who aims for a career as a theatre actress.
Critical reception
Kirkus Reviews published a review of the novel, calling it "Well handled, this story of the ugly duckling should have a direct appeal to teen-age girls who will easily identify with the plight of struggling Ruth."[1]
gollark: Mostly because it would take >5 minutes to transfer a potatOS update.
gollark: LabelNet™ was considered for implementation within "potato OS", but this was never done.
gollark: That's a shame. In my humble IMHO it really increases clarity.
gollark: I think CraftOS-PC had an issue early on where it didn't verify it correctly.
gollark: About 30 *bytes*.
