14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Humorous Adventures at Saint Ursula's School. By Zou Zou Just Patty is a compilation of the adventures of Patty Wyatt and her best friends Connie Wilder and Priscilla. The book's publication date is 1911. The young ladies are in their Senior year at St. Ursula's boarding school. The novel opens with the three discovering that they will not be roommates. Each girl has been assigned a new and generally impossible roommate. The Latin Instructor, Miss Lord, has convinced the Principal, Mrs Trent, to separate the three mischievous friends. The girls plead to be re-united and returned to their former rooms in the West Wing (Paradise Alley). How they convince the Dowager to return them to Paradise Alley is ingenious and amusing. The girls' adventures continue from exposing a dubious fictitous romance created by the worldly Mae Mertelle to facilitating the romance of gymnasium teacher Miss Jellings and Mr Gilroy with a little judicious Gypsy fortune telling. It is amusing to read how the worth of a supposed Suitor is judged by his gifting a volume of Marie Correlli's Works. The girls' grousing on being required to attend Friday afternoon lectures on Woman's Rights is interesting when you realise that this book was published prior to the enactment of the 19th Amendment. These young women are aware of unions, strikes and the eight hour day. There is even a schoolgirl foray into the popular belief of spiritualism. Ghost parties and seances give rise to ectoplasmic mischief. This is a book of clever funny stories of young women at the beginning of the twentieth century. Recommended.

Jean Webster Amazes By Shirley Curtis Maybe this is an old title, almost historical, but it was so well written and interesting that you could easily see the events in Patty's life in your minds eye. Jean Webster was one of my mother's favorite writers, and having read another of her books out of curiousity, I had to read more. It's well worth it. Patty charms, tests, and changes you. A very good read.

By AnnaKayBook Full Review at my blog, Diamond&Coal Book Reviews:[...] When I downloaded this for my Kindle (it's free on Amazon as part of Project Gutenberg), I had already read Daddy Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Jean Webster has a pretty sharp sense of humor and writes wonderfully relatable heroines, that put me in mind of L.M. Montgomery (only with some extra snarkiness, versus dreaminess) and her Anne series. I thought about reading When Patty Goes to College first since it was written before this one, but decided to go in chronological order by the actual setting of the book. I normally am not a huge fan of books told in short story/vignette form, but this one really was a pretty good book when it comes down to it. Patty is an absolute lightning rod for mischief and makes it a habit to deliberately misinterpret things that people say to her or instruct her to do - with mostly hilarious results. The other two girls are in the mischief with her, but Patty is most definitely the ringleader! There were some that were almost entirely humorous, like the incident where Patty and the girls strike for better/more equal treatment in Latin class, and the incident with one of the girls having a fake beau (boyfriend) to hurt another girl's feelings (Patty takes care of that one with some pretty funny antics). But there were also stories like the one where Patty is stuck at school for Christmas and decides to help a lonely and out of place student who feels abandoned have a meaningful holiday. Also, the incident with the prank where Patty accidentally encounters a real burglar and finds him a job when she goes trespassing on a grumpy, reclusive millionaire's property. Patty always means well, even when she's trying to get around doing things that she should (like studying to make up an exam that she misses). Overall I was impressed with this book and felt like the overall tone to it avoided the malicious spirit that books centered around pranks and boarding schools tend to have on occasion (whether by accident or design, things do move in that direction quite often). I am only sorry that Jean Webster died at such a young age, with so much potential to be a classic children's writer in the collective consciousness instead of nearly forgotten, as I feel she is in our present day. Also interesting to note is that Jean Webster was Mark Twain's grandniece. Who knows maybe his famous snark is some of the reason she manages mischief so admirably in her own novels! I highly recommend this one, especially for fans of classic books along the lines of Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, or the Betsy-Tacy series. My only real complaint is that I wish there were more to this book. It felt far too short, especially with the story Webster chose to end on.VERDICT: 4.5/5 Stars**No money or favors were exchanged for this review. This book is now available mostly in used bookstores, online, or maybe even at your local library.**
