Nine-year-old Garnet, who is actually almost 10, is sure she's found something magical when she spots a thimble in a dried-up river bed. Her feelings are confirmed when, a few hours later, it begins to rain thus bringing an end to a drought which had been threatening her family's farm. Now feeling very lucky, Garnet spends the rest of the summer having adventures with her best friend Citronella, visiting town without adult accompaniment, and preparing her pig for an appearance at the upcoming County Fair. Winner of the 1939 Newbery Medal.

Garnet thought this must be the hottest day that had ever been in the world. Every day for weeks she had though the same thing, but this was really the worst of all.
