Bookroo's summary
In 1906 San Francisco, spirited eleven-year-old Elizabeth "Littlebeth" Morgan is sent to her aunt to learn proper manners. But when a devastating earthquake strikes, she finds herself alone in a shattered city. Separated from her aunt, Littlebeth must rely on her daring nature and quick wits to navigate the chaos and find safety. Can she survive the burning ruins and reunite with her family, or will the city's destruction prove too great a challenge? Her journey through the disaster tests her courage and resilience in unexpected ways.
From the publisher
Eleven-year-old Elizabeth “Littlebeth” Morgan would rather race the boys, chase skunks, and read about bandits than act like a lady. So her parents send her to her maiden aunt in San Francisco to be tamed and refined. But when an earthquake hits and she’s separated from her aunt, Littlebeth must use her fearless nature and quick-thinking to survive in a city that’s broken and burning.
