Shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Young Adult Literature (2015).

The Hired Girl won the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction, was an Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Award Winner, and won the National Jewish Book Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart and her hope out into her diary — because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of: a woman with a future.
