Francie is frustrated that, in her large family, there is no
place in their house that Francie can truly call "private." When
she eventually settles on the old family shed as the site for the
"Comics Club" meetings, she is mad at her parents and siblings for
being "too busy" to help clean it up. After a squabble with one of
her friends and a run-in with Sr. Ursula Agnes, her teacher, there
is a neat and tidy ending in which she gets a brand-new treehouse,
complete with curtains!
There is very little characterization which is sterotypical at
best (case in point: a mean, ruler-cracking nun who surprsingly
becomes understanding of Francie's dilemma.) The ending is a bit
pat. This will meet the demand, however, for very beginning
chapter books for second and third grade.
