5.0 out of 5 stars A good book, August 6, 2000

By	Shannon (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

Amy March loves to draw. She wants to become a world famous painter. But she believes there is one problem. The March family is too poor to pay for art lesons for Amy. Amy's sister Meg tells her that her friend Annabell is given art lesons, and that Amy might be able to join in. Annabells little sister Jenny is in the same class as Amy. Amy decides she has to befriend snoby Jenny to get art lesons, but it is hopeless.

When rich Diana Hughes comes to Concord, Amy befriends her, thinking she can get art lesons with Diana. Jenny and Jenny's best friend Susie try to befriend Diana too. But Amy soon finds out that friendship is worth more than art lesons.
