Fall 1949 is scary but exciting for farm girl Gail Albright. When she begins junior high at the nearby town of Craigsburg, Gail has no idea of the struggles and friendships she will find.
She's the butt of jokes made by class snob Veronica Holt and Veronica's stuck-up clique. And they especially make fun of Gail for wearing a feedsack dress her mother made.
After Gail's first taste of humiliation, she must find a way to overcome her embarrassment and anger. The only thing harder than putting up with Veronica's mean teasing is finding the strength to beat her at her own games.
With a little help from her friends, Gail might just pull it off.
"A welcome and confidently recommended addition to school and community library collections, "The Feedsack Dress" is a charming, original, and deftly written novel by an author who has a readily discernable talent for story telling and an impressive ability to make her readers care about her characters."
