About this book

In the early 20th century, societal divisions were stark, shaping the lives of children across class lines. "A Pair of Them" by Evelyn Raymond explores this divide through the eyes of two young girls: Bonny-Gay, a girl of privilege, and Mary Jane, a hunchbacked child from a modest background. As their paths intertwine, the narrative uncovers themes of friendship, empathy, and resilience, challenging the norms of their time. This poignant tale invites students and young readers to reflect on the importance of understanding and compassion in a world often marked by disparity. Discover how these two girls navigate their contrasting realities, forging a bond that transcends their differences in this timeless children's novel.
