What Katy Did (At School & Next)<\/strong><\/em> Katy Carr has ideas of her own \u2014 most of which get her into trouble. Most of the first book in the trilogy is about Katy\u2019s response to an accident that leaves her (temporarily) paralysed. The second covers a year at boarding school, and the third follows Katy to Europe, where she spends a year assisting a family travelling there.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Review:<\/em> When I look back on these novels, I realize that sometimes, it gets a little tedious, sometimes a little preachy. But as a child, it sucked me in, and while there are flaws, it’s a simple story about growing up, the growth of a child into a young girl, into a young woman, coming into her own as an adult. It’s a tale about a family, about friendships and maturity and it’s sweet and simple.<\/p>\n The characters can be one-dimensional, can be unrealistic, can be annoying – but it embodies a childhood innocence and naivety that I enjoyed delving back into.<\/p>\n My favorite will always be the somewhat realistic way, in What Katy Did Next<\/i>, Ned goes from infatuated with a girl’s looks, to falling for Katy as a character and as an individual.<\/p>\n The series is outdated in some of the characters’ thoughts and even in the idealistic nature of it, but I still enjoy going back and reading it as it reminds me of my own childhood and the innocence of a child still growing up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What Katy Did (At School & Next) by Susan M.
