Miss Prudence: A Story of Two Girls' Lives.

"Miss Prudence: A Story of Two Girls' Lives" by Nathaniel Conklin is a story about two young girls named Marjorie West and Linnet as they grow up, learn about themselves, and deal with life's challenges. The book explores what it means to find yourself, believe in something, and how important grown-ups can be in our lives, especially a wise woman named Miss Prudence who helps guide them. In the beginning, we meet Marjorie, an eleven-year-old girl who loves to use her imagination and think deeply about things, but she has trouble believing in herself and keeping up with her schoolwork. When Marjorie gets in trouble for choosing to read instead of studying, we see how she struggles inside and how much she values her friends. There's also a sweet connection between Marjorie and a boy from her school named Hollis Rheid, showing how innocent feelings can start. This sets the scene for a story full of feelings and questions about what's right and wrong as the characters get older and learn more about the world.
