A lifelong resident of California, Doris Gates was for many years, she was a librarian for the Fresno County Free Library. However, she is remembered for her many beloved children's books. Of these, the best known and most influential was Blue Willow (1940), selected as a Newbery Honor Book in 1941. Many consider Blue Willow to have been the first realistic, problem novel for children, and it was recognized both for its lasting literary merit and for its expansion of the range of subjects which could be explored in books for children. She died in 1987.

This was one of the most boring books in my opinion. I couldn’t get into it which is rough. I didn’t want to quit but I just didn’t want to continue reading it.
Maybe I’ll pick it up again and try again, but as of right now, it wasn’t worth the try.
I’m sorry :/
