In 1925 Colorado, 14-year-old Ida Bidson dreams of becoming a teacher, but she knows it won’t be easy.

Then she and her classmates come up with a plan for a secret school - with Ida as their teacher!

Family friendly.. great characters.. some hateable people to keep it interesting...

There is an undercurrent of a misconception about all that girls and kids can do if they set there mind to it

Wholesome coming-of-age story

I homeschool my kids, and we have a segment entitled, “Book Club”, where we listen to audiobooks, and discuss the chapters that we’d listened to, on said day. I really enjoyed watching their reactions to certain parts; and they always had plenty to say about the characters, whenever it was their turn to speak! They’d even shared what they thought would happen in the next few chapters, to specific characters, whenever we’d end the time on a cliffhanger! Awesomely heartfelt story!
