Her feelings are confirmed when, a few hours later, it begins to rain thus bringing an end to a drought which had been threatening her family's farm. Now feeling very lucky, Garnet spends the rest of the summer having adventures with her best friend Citronella, visiting town without adult accompaniment, and preparing her pig for an appearance at the upcoming County Fair. Winner of the 1939 Newbery Medal.
