Description
The "New Chronicles of Rebecca" continues "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." They provide a series of stories about a creative child who is sent to live with rigid relatives in a small town due to the inability of her widowed mother to support her, an onerous mortgage, and her siblings. In the first book, we see how, slowly, the child Rebecca is able to bring change to her surroundings; these changes continue in the New Chronicles. Rebecca is an imaginative girl who writes poetry and stories constantly, but struggles to work within her environment (e.g., the same displeasing porcupine quills in her hat instead of lovely, yet extravagant feathers). Her winning ways save the stolen flag for the town's flag ceremony, and help her to find friends throughout the town - but her overzealous missionary efforts result in the offense of a curmudgeon who neglects to attend church as regularly as he ought. We hear how Rebecca's relationships with Emma Jane and Miranda mature, and what happens with her mother and siblings, her original home and Sunnybrook farm. We don't quite hear what happens with Rebecca's long term happiness - i.e. marriage (we certainly are provided with hints), but Emma Jane's future is secured. It's good to get some resolution, and Rebecca matured into an excellent character: Adapted from Jimmy Lee - https: //www.goodreads.com/book/show/884055.New_Chronicles_of_Rebecca
