Maud Hart Lovelace

The further adventures of 12-year-old Betsy, Tacy, and Tib as they explore the world beyond their neighborhood and discover the public library, see a real play, and make friends with the owners of the downtown hotel.

Betsy and Tacy go downtown

Betsy, Tacy, and Tib are twelve—old enough to do lots of things...even go downtown on their own. There they see their first horseless carriage, discover the joys of the public library, and see a real play at the Opera House. They even find themselves acting in one! Best of all, they help a lonely new friend feel at home in Deep Valley—the most wonderful place in the world to grow up. Ever since their first publication in the 1940s, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.

So stinking heartwarming! You kind of see ahead, and I remember that from before. My only problem is that I'm reading this for a readathon, and I need to move on to the next prompt, but how can I leave Betsy and Tacy and Tib?
