'And now, Katy, it's your turn. Tell us what you're going to be when you grow up.'
'I'm not sure about what I'll be,' replied Katy; 'beautiful, of course, and good if I can. That's what I'd like to be. But now I'll tell you what I mean to do…'
Tomboyish Katy Carr is tall, gangling and full of mischief. Constantly scheming with her siblings, 12-year-old Katy dreams that one day she will be 'beautiful and amiable as an angel'. But goodness and obedience don't come easily to Katy. When her bedridden cousin Helen comes to stay, Katy believes Helen to be the pinnacle of goodness and strives to follow her lead. But quickly the best of intentions goes awry, and a day of mischief ends in an accident, threatening Katy's hopes for the future. Will the 'School of Pain' be enough for Katy to discover her own strength and patience on the road to goodness?
Originally published in 1872, and often paired with 'The Secret Garden' and 'Pollyanna', 'What Katy Did' is the classic American tale of childhood, love, hope and 'doing good'.
