Book Description

Publication Date: October 6, 1997 | Age Level: 8 and up | Series: Portraits of Little Women

Painfully shy Beth March is excited to be visiting New York City with her parents.  The theater, opera, symphony, museums--Beth loves every minute of her adventure.  She even meets Abraham Lincoln, and has the courage to tell him that women deserve the right to vote.

But once she's back home in Massachusetts, none of Beth's schoolmates believe that she really spoke to Mr.  Lincoln or that she even met him.  They know Beth is shy--too shy to speak to a man running for President of the United States.  Even Beth's younger sister, Amy, thinks she's lying.  Now Beth wishes she'd never been to New York...until she's surprised by an unexpected visitor.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Beth's Story (Portraits of Little Women) (Hardcover)

Beth's Story is about a young girl named Beth March. When Beth and her sisters find out that there Marmee and Father are going to New York for business, but when the four March sisters find out that one of them can go to New York, Amy is the youngest and says that she sould go, for she will not get to go to New York as Marmee said, she would like to go now. But then the troble starts, Jo says that Beth sould go and so does Meg, Amy was not so willing to let Beth have her vote, but Beth went to New York and there she meat Mr. Lincoln, they had a very nice little chat, and when Beth got home and back to school, she was asked to tell the class about her vist to New York. She let her meeting with Mr. Lincoln slip, and so Amy was left out of everything. The whole class did not belive the simple old Beth March had met Mr. Lincoln. The next night and for the whole week Amy would not talk to Beth. I will not give away the ending so I must stop here. This is a very good book, and I hope you will read it.
