It was a very good book.

Calico Bush was a drama in words. The story was about a girl who had lost her family and had become bound-out to a family who didn't appreciate her. She meets an old lady at her house in Maine who realized what she was going through. It was a very good book.
The story of a young French emigrant in colonial America.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book was a 1932 Newbery Honor Book (i.e., a runner-up to the Medal winner) for best contribution to American children's literature. It is the story of thirteen-year-old Marguerite Ledoux in 1742-1743, a young French emigrant who finds herself all alone in the New World after her uncle and grandmother die. She agrees to be "bound" to a family who are moving to begin a farm on an isolated section of the coast of colonial Maine. Hence, this novel depicts farm life in colonial America and the interactions on a young girl in a whole new culture. It is a beautiful story and still finds appeal amongst readers today.
