What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

emily of new moon?

Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott has the injury, but Jill's not an orphan (and is quite doted on by her parents IIRC). But if you think you may be conflating several books it's worth a shot. Or maybe there's an overworked servant girl that Jill befriends? Or maybe I'm thinking of Eight Cousins.

Eight Cousins has an orphaned heroine, and she does sprain her ankle quite badly late in the book, but she's also quite well-treated by her family.

Perhaps What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge?
Katy and her brothers and sisters live with their father and aunt as their mother is dead. She loves books and continually gets in trouble until she becomes bedridden after falling off a swing. Eventually she recovers but her illness has changed her and she no longer gets into scrapes but becomes boringly well behaved. I have to say as a child I much preferred naughty Katy!

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm? Mischievous Meg?

Elsie Dinsmore?

Hi Annie, glad you think you have found your book and there are several sequels too if you are interested. I got them all quite recently for free on Kindle.
Happy reading!

Hi again Annie, there links to the other books in the series on the right hand side of the What Katy Did page here on Goodreads so you can see if you fancy them.

Annie, I notice your header is marked Solved. What's the title and author of your book?

Great. Thanks for the update, Annie.
