Synopsis
Liberated for a year from her parents' restrictions, ten-year-old Lucinda discovers true freedom in the care of her temporary guardians as she roller skates around the streets of turn-of-the-century New York.

Set in New York City during the 1890s and based on the author's own childhood experiences, this is the story of Lucinda, a free-spirited 10-year-old tomboy who is living with a family friend while her parents travel through Europe. Pleased to be living with the relaxed Miss Peters, Lucinda spends her days rollerskating through the city, making friends with the junkman, chatting with friendly police officers, and playing with Tony, a boy whose father runs the local fruit stand. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the text. Winner of the 1937 Newbery Medal.
