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. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself--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 relates Joan's journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity Carpet sweepers Sending out the laundry ), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

My picky dog loves them.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: Chicken Chips, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: Chicken Chips
I try to give my dog, whom I love so much, the healthies food and treats that i can. She is so very picky and it's difficult to find things she likes. She loves these treats and expectes one every morning. She litterally waites by the pantry door for one. The are healthy Human grate chicken chips. Makes me feel better about giving her a treat. I would Highly recommend.

These treats are like hard rubber. Neither of my dogs can chew them and end up trying to swallow them, choking every time.
