| Summary |
"Little Miss Oddity" by Amy Ella Blanchard is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Cassy Law as she navigates her life among the struggles of her impoverished family while nurturing her dreams and a love for nature. The book captures themes of resilience, imagination, and the stark contrast between Cassy's modest reality and her dreams of beauty and friendship. At the start of the story, we meet Cassy and her brother Jerry in a rundown back yard filled with discarded items, where Cassy discovers two tiny green shoots sprouting from the soil. Excited by her discovery, she believes she has a garden and hopes it may bloom into a flower. Despite teasing from neighborhood children, particularly Billy Miles, who threatens her precious plant, the siblings work together to protect it. Their interactions hint at a world of childish innocence and imagination, revealing Cassy's vibrant spirit as she dreams about flowers and gardens, setting the tone for her adventures filled with hope and creativity amidst challenging circumstances.
