Patty was curled up in her favourite big easy-chair in her own study.Though called a study, because it had been used as such during her schooldays, the pretty room was really more like a boudoir. Her desk was still there, but was now filled with programmes, friendly letters, and social correspondence instead of school themes or problems. The general colouring of the room was green, but the sash curtains of thin yellow silk, and the heap of yellow sofa cushions, did much to lighten the effect, and gave the room a sunshiny air, even on a dull day. The couch, and the two big, soft, cuddly chairs were upholstered in yellow-flowered chintz, and on the pale green walls hung Patty's favourite pictures, and many curios or souvenirs of her year spent abroad.It was the first of March, so the room was brightened both by a big bowlful of yellow daffodils and a blazing wood fire. The two things Patty liked best in life were warmth and colour, and so to-day she was sitting near the fire, with the splendid yellow glory of the daffodils in full view.But she was not looking at them, for she was poring over a book. When Patty read she usually pored, for she was eager and enthusiastic over any story in which she was interested.… (plus d'informations)

The first part is Patty's attempt to win a little electric car in a contest. From the title of the book you can tell that she is successful. Then she and her family decide to buy a summer home on the beach. All of Patty's friends come up for a visit. Patty turns 19 in this book. She's still not socially considered an adult, but her relationships are starting to get slightly more complicated. Not too much more to say, except that I did enjoy it. Patty's adventures with her new car were kind of amusing, and it was fun to see how driving a car back then was more of a sport than a necessity, and there were specific clothes and accessories for it. I had to laugh when the author made such a point about how clever and ingenious it was that the car actually had locks on the doors!! ( )
