Brief description:
From the book jacket:
Carrol Houghton, charming, lonely daughter of a wealthy eastern businessman goes to visit her friend Penny Parrish at Fort Arden in Kansas. Never has Carrol enjoyed herself so! She cannot believe there actually are parents like Major and Mrs. Parrish.
Swiftly, from one gay diversion to another, moves this appealing story. There is a scavenger hunt, a junior hop, a picnic, and best of all a horse show that brings special thrills to the Parrish family. Then Penny’s great "treat” for Carrol—a visit from no less person than the austere Mr. Houghton himself -- threatens to spoil everything, but actually adds the crowning touch to this truly star-spangled summer.
