Description

‘A well-written and very accessible abridgment of the classic Daddy Long Legs. Perfect for introducing this text to 7 to 12 year olds.’ —The Wishing Shelf

Jerusha Abbott is a lonely orphan raised in the John Grier Home. She dreams of being an author, but the prospects for her future aren’t bright—that is, until a mysterious benefactor takes interest in her.

One of the trustees of her orphanage—who wishes to remain anonymous—has offered to pay for Jerusha’s entire college tuition. The only catch is that Jerusha is required to write him a letter every month to update him on her progress.

Month after month, Jerusha pens her letters to “Daddy-Long-Legs,” growing closer to the mysterious man all the while. As she embraces her independence and discovers who she is, one thing remains constant for Jerusha: her unconditional, heartwarming love for her benefactor, “Daddy-Long-Legs.”
