The issue also includes fashion and product advertisements, including a pastel-colored Polly Pigtails sweater available from Buckland Knitwear.
Meet Ruthie Duskin, a quick-thinking young woman who's become famous as a standout performer on the Quiz Kids radio show, where her hand shoots up first to answer tough questions on everything from Shakespeare to chemistry. In this biography, discover how Ruthie's curiosity sparked a lifelong love of science, inspired her to write a book for her younger sister, and led her to excel both in and out of the classroom—all while staying grounded with her love of singing, baseball, and school life.
The Pigtail Club's ambitious plans for a winter carnival hit an unexpected snag when the pond's new owner, Mr. Murphy, forbids them from skating—or using the frozen water for their fundraising event. With the best skating spot in town now off-limits and their community service project hanging in the balance, the girls must figure out how to salvage both their carnival dreams and their access to the ice.
