Hi,
I've had this book on the Loganberry book stumpers list a long time, so now
i will see if any of you might know the title.
As I recall, the protagonist is a young girl in a Catholic or convent
school; her name is probably Blanca Maria. She has trouble adjusting and at
one point goes to a dormitory called the Angels where girls with problems
live. I think the school may be in Mexico or California but definitely
somewhere with a Latin angle. One of the nuns is Sister Ursula. Two of the
other girls are Polly and Ethel. Blanca Maria enjoys painting, and at the
end of the book a picture she creates apparently reminds the sisters of her
father, who comes to take her out of school. The books is not Life with
mother Superior and has nothing to do with The Trouble with Angels. It was
probably around in the 1950's. If I could get it I'd scan and submit it,
but I can't think of the title or author. I will just add one incident.
Sister Ursula one day sends our heroine all over the place searching for
some elbow grease, I assume to assuage her restlessness and get her out of
class for awhile.
If anybody can help, I'd appreciate it.
Ilene
