Penny Pollard's Diary

Penny Pollard is a rebellious girl who has no patience for old people, homework, or wearing dresses. When a school assignment about saints sends her on an excursion, she encounters Mrs. Edith Bettany, a nearly eighty-one-year-old woman who is just as spirited and unconventional as herself. What starts as an unlikely encounter develops into an unexpected friendship that challenges Penny's assumptions about people of a different generation.
