As for her dreams of a career, it is actively furthered by judicious interpolations- by the author- of lively and practical demonstrations of the pros and cons of pursuit of her chosen career.Important Note about Bookshelves and Ginger is far from the conventional book heroine she indulges in numerous misdemeanors, and the farther she strays from the cliches of glamor, the more glamorous she actually becomes. It takes disaster and enforced retreat to the attic of her inundated home to make her wake up to herself and bring into focus the realities of which books should be made. Ginger's high spirit and healthy narcissism make her somewhat oblivious to the actual world around her, and she retreates into a phantom world as she spins out unlikely tales of romance and fancy. The place is Dayton- the time, 1913, when the disastrous flood occurred. Now comes a really distinguished teen-age novel, with a strong dramatic line and a credible, perceptively presented heroine, one Virginia (known as Ginger) O'Neal, who- like many of her age-envisions for herself a literary career. **Elisabeth Friermood has been writing constantly for the early teens and her books have had a dependable homey quality, a good sense of regional and period background, and heretofore- not very much penetration of character or originality of viewpoint.
