A lyrical, lovely, and deeply touching adaptation of an authentic journal kept by an orphaned six-year-old girl--later believed to be a French princess--living in an Oregon lumber camp at the turn of the century. 24 black-and-white photographs.

About the Author:
Opal Whiteley grew up in logging settlements near the town of Cottage Grove, at the southern end of Oregon's Willamette Valley. A child literary prodigy and acclaimed nature teacher, she is the author of The Fairyland Around Us, a self-published nature book for children (1918), and her bestselling childhood diary, The Story of Opal (1920).
Review:
This turn-of-the-century six-year-old's diary presents a vivid portrait of the girl's life: it became a sensation upon its discovery in 1920 and today offers new YA readers a classic. The poetic-appearing structure of the lines may throw readers who take one look and expect verse; but the special presentation shouldn't detract from its strong message. -- Midwest Book Review
