Judy Burns was a child of and during The Great Depression of the 1930s. Born Julia Margaret Koebert, and nicknamed "Marg" (hard "g") as a child, she was a pint-sized ball of energy who loved adventure and making money. Wearing her blue jean overalls, little Marg became Clarksburg, West Virginia's only newspapergirl at the time. In her six years selling newspapers for the Exponent-Telegram, Marg sold more papers, got more subscriptions and won for prizes than all the other newspaper boys. Sometimes, she also got into a lot more trouble than she bargained for, too, but Marg's twinkling eyes, friendly smile and big heart won her many friends who were never far away. In a time when little girls were supposed to wear dresses and ribbons in their hair, Marg was far more comfortable in her blue overalls. This is a heart-warming book for all ages.
