This book is about a girl named Lucinda who decides to live a year on roller skates in New York. Now that sounds so awesome! Even though her story is in the 1890's and New York is not the great city of today, it is a page after page of intrigue and adventures for Lucinda. Her story starts off with her parents having to leave her with an aunt that isn't too happy to have her stay a whole year with her. Who in your family would want you to stay for an entire year? I think my Aunt would since I am just like her! It is not all fun and games so far for Lucinda, but she meets some interesting people. I like that she has a mind of her own and makes friends with people that are of a different culture than her.

I just finished this book, and I just LOVED it! If you like Little House on the Prarie, this book is for you. The book is like Little House on the Prarie, but it takes place in the city. The girl in the story "Lucinda" is a very nice and michevious girl. She makes friends with everyone she meets. I reccomend this book.
