About this listen

Tall, gangly, and tomboyish Katy was badly injured in an accident which has left her partially paralysed. This has been tough on the wild girl, who is no longer able to play with her siblings or roam around nature the way she used to. But Katy has now regained some feelings in her legs, and can finally start to slowly walk again. Her father feels she is healthy enough to start school, so he sends her off to be educated. It is with mixed emotions that Katy goes. Starting school will be exciting, but won’t she miss her siblings too much to learn anything?

This is the second book in the Katy series, which has been elected one of the best children’s books by its readers. The series takes place in 1860's Ohio.

I loved the Katy stories as a child so thought I’d treat myself! Obviously I was very familiar with the story but the narration ruined it. The accent was harsh and it was garbled

Could be better

This sequel to What Katy Did is a good story but it was spoiled by the narration. The reading was very hurried and with very little expression.

Good story but spoiled by narration

Although I really enjoyed the reader's voice, there was something with the Mic that ruined the performance.

Good reader...bad mic

The narrator has recorded this for free for librivox and Amazon are charging for it which is super weird. That’s why the mic quality isn’t as good because this is not a professional recording.

Love the book, and love the narrator’s performance.
