American Girls fans will fall hard for Violet and her less-than-proper friends..
But if Violet\'s becoming the Wrong Sort of Person, why does it feel just right? This stirring depiction of the very end of the women\'s suffrage battle in America is sure to please readers who like their historical fiction fast-paced and action-packed.
Before long she is standing side-by-side with her new friends--suffragists, socialists, and colored people--the type of people whom her parents would not approve.
As Violet\'s journey grows longer, her single-minded pursuit of reuniting with her sister changes.
She\'s moved on to Tennesee where she\'s fighting for the right of women to vote.
The only problem is that Chloe\'s not in New York anymore.
Violet\'s parents said Chloe had turned into the Wrong Sort of Person, but Violet knew better.
Eleven-year-old Violet has one goal in mind when she runs away from home: to find her sister, Chloe.
It\'s also a New York State Curriculum title for fourth grade.
