Reach for this classic series when your child is grappling with a sudden change in their physical abilities or needs to develop the internal fortitude required to handle a long period of recovery. The story follows Katy Carr, a tall, clumsy, and high-spirited girl whose life is upended by a spinal injury that leaves her bedridden. Over the course of three books, parents will see Katy transform from a headstrong child into a thoughtful young woman who leads her family with grace and later finds her own independence in Europe. It is an ideal pick for teaching the 'School of Pain' lessons regarding patience and empathy without being overly sentimental. This series is perfect for readers aged 9 to 12 who are transitioning into longer, character-driven Victorian literature.
