| Summary | Annotation Mary is certain that her parents are giving her new shoes for Christmas, but the Depression has hit her Saskatchewan farming family hard. Mary tries to hide her disappointment when she receives a crude homemade doll instead. She ends up liking the doll much more than she expects, but the doll fuels the rivalry between Mary and her older sister, Judith. Then, when the doll disappears a few weeks later during a snowstorm, Mary and Judith's relationship changes once again.<br><br>January 20, 2006. Canadian Review of Materials discusses UaLS's place in the school curriculum:"...The book does provide an authentic look at the effects of the Depression on a prairie farm family in Saskatchewan, and for this reason <br>it is a useful novel for teaching about this period in Canadian history...
