About
"The book is a story of New York in the [eighteen] nineties. Lucinda, aged ten, is left with her teacher while her parents are in Italy and is determined to spend every free moment of her time on roller skates. It is an intensely human story, for sorrows and even tragedies cross her path as well as joy and adventure." - Bulletin of the American Library Association, Vol. 31, no.7, p.417.
