Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart and her hope out into her diary \u2014 because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of: a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force, available in paperback.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Candlewick; Reprint edition (December 26, 2017) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 400 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 0763694509 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-0763694500 <br \/> Reading age                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 10 &#8211; 14 years <br \/> Lexile measure                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 810L <br \/> Grade level                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5 &#8211; 9 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 13.6 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 6.06 x 1.06 x 8.5 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers enjoyed the story and found it interesting.
