Beautiful Sayers — Jane McBride

Nine year old Beautiful Sayers wants nothing more than to be liked and accepted, and never stops trying to unlock the secret of finding her way into the hearts of others. Do unto others and love your enemies is what she has been taught, but it doesn't seem to work with her classmates who can't see past her bright red hair and two different colored eyes. She and her faithful dog Colby might just crack the code during one memorable summer in a small village on the banks of the Erie Canal in 1919.
