Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself--because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of--a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan's journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity Carpet sweepers Sending out the laundry ), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

Not very sturdy.
Size: Large
This was a nice toy but not able to with stand an aggressive chewer. I have a GBGV with super strong jaws.

Best chew toy ever!
Size: Large
My doodles love this chew. My 4 year old doodle still has hers. Very durable. I’ve bought this for all my friends and neighbors with new puppies! I have a new 7 month old doodle- she has not torn up anything...I feel it’s because of this chew.

Lasts a long time
Very durable and my dog loves it. He’s not a big guy but is a determined chewed. Either he destroys the toys in a day or two or has not interest in chewing it. This keeps his interest and I has lasted a week with only a little wear to it.

Highest rated chew toy in my house! Worth it!
Pro’s - I have mini Daschund’s and a 50lb Aussie and these are the favorite chew toys in the house. We have 4 dogs total and at first there was only one and all others would stare at the one that had it till he got board then it was war. Because of this I bought more.
Con’s - they are Hard plastic and are loud when they are playing with them on hardwoods, like super loud. Also they are not forgiving if stepped on.

My super chewer loves this toy!
This toy is a hit for our 1 year old puppy. She’s a super chewer and destroys every toy we give her within days. The toys has lasted a month and keeps her occupied for hours!
