Some say New York City is a “melting pot.” I think not so much. Positively scads of vastly different folks exist in close proximity. But the vastly different doesn’t go away. That’s the secret! In this book a poor kid gets mixed up with a lot of rich ones. Uptown, Downtown, Eastside, Westside … she sees it all. But by remembering her upbringing, being true to herself, and minding her manners she becomes the most fortunate (rich!) of any. Fascinating and touching.
