|---|
"This book tells the story of 14 year old Lizzie, who's growing up and maturing at the turn of the century- where she's starting to wonder why the world seems so unfair. Betting with her older brother that she can go the entire summer without the help of a man, Lizzie sets out to prove how independent women are and gets herself into a heap of trouble along the way. Getting kidnapped and finding a dear friend in a wizened prostitute, The Bet's On! is a classic girl read and will become an absolute favorite."
