This book is paperback but the picture on the cover is like 0808579908. Great gift or for collectors. Book one of six in this series. Samantha Parkington is an orphan who lives with her rich grandmother in 1904. There are many servants in GrandMary's household but no one for Samantha who is 9 years old to play with. That is why she is so excited when Nellie, a servant girl her age, moves in next door. Although their lives are different, the two girls become good friends. One day Samantha discovers that Jessie, the seamstress is leaving. No one will tell her why. So she and Nellie plan a secret midnight adventure to find out.

The America Girl Books are great historical book for adults or children. I have read almost every single one of them and I love them.
