Summary: Effie grows up
Review: Euphemia Martin hates her name and wishes she could grow up faster. Her older sister and that crowd of friends want to shut tomboy Effie out of their activities, starting with a "welcome back" picnic outing for Lawrence Earle. Lawrence wants no truck with the girls and in slipping away from them, he and the outcast Effie bump into each other during an exciting and daring adventure. They become supportive friends and Lawrence is particularly in favor of Euphemia's name and what its original meaning is from the Bible. Effie sets out to see if she can change her reputation and truly become graceful Euphemia - "Of Good Report". Tremendous coming-of-age saga sans the usual romance from Grace Livingston Hill, but a delightfully absorbing story.
