Twelve-year-old Katy Carr lives with her widowed father and her five younger brothers and sisters in a small Ohioan town called Burnet. Katy intends to be beautiful and beloved and as sweet as an angel one day. For now, though, her hair is forever in a tangle, her dress is always torn and she doesn't care at all for being called 'good'. But then a terrible accident happens and Katy must find the courage to remember her daydreams and the delightful plans she once schemed; for when she is grown up she wants to do something grand!

This series is also called, Katy Did.
