Rebecca of sunnybrook farm
Despite having autism, 18-year-old Holden Harris is a happy and fairly normal young man-on the inside. But his classmates don' t see it that way, and many of them bully him terribly. But one girl, Ellen Reynolds, takes notice of the way Holden is treated and is horrified by what she sees. Ella-a star of the high school drama production-is quite popular at school. So when she decides to take a stand against the privileged and popular kids at school-including her boyfriend-she really makes a mark. But Ella is convinced that what she' s doing is worth all the trouble it' s causing, and hopes she can show others that things really can change for the better.

Another title celebrating a century marker, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin, appears with new illustrations by Barbara McClintock. Her signature artwork with its period details, which appears as full-color plates throughout, seems particularly well suited to this cheery heroine. The illustrations impart a cozy, familiar feel to a long-ago world, and reveals a lively, generous spirit in the heroine who leaves her home to live with her two elderly aunts.
