L. M. Montgomery 
The Story Girl 

Sara Stanley is only fourteen, but she can weave tales that are impossible to resist. In the charming town of Carlisle, children and grown-ups alike flock from miles around to hear her spellbinding tales. And when Bev King and his younger brother Felix arrive for the summer, they, too, are captivated by the Story Girl. Whether she is leading them on exciting misadventures or narrating timeless stories—from the scary Tale of the Family Ghost to the fanciful How Kissing Was Discovered to the bittersweet The Blue Chest of Rachel Ward—the Story Girl has her audience hanging on every word.
