I am a fan of children's lit and this is a wonderful, wholesome story of a little girl whose parents have to leave for a year for her mother's health and she lives with two spinsters who give her more freedom than she has ever had before. It is a story that any child can read - think Anne of Green Gables sort of story. A wonderful addition to any young reader's library! Review: Reminded me of Anne of Green Gables - The main character in this book is so spunky and fun. It takes place in New York City during the 1890s. She has a very Anne of Green Gables nature. She loves to make friends with everyone she encounters around New York - police officers, carriage drivers, the boy selling produce on the corner. It does have some sad moments and a little bit of racist terms since it was written in the 1930s. Great book overall! Would recommend to 4th grade and up. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #172,595 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #371 in Teen & Young Adult Classic Literature #449 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Girls' & Women's Issues (Books) #1,764 in Teen & Young Adult Social & Family Issue Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (82) | | Dimensions | 7.76 x 5.14 x 0.53 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0140303588 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0140303582 | | Item Weight | 5.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | May 6, 1986 | | Publisher | Puffin Books | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years | ## Images ![Roller Skates - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WCqG9jSXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gentle story *by T***G on November 4, 2025* A lovely story about a little girl growing up in a very new New York City.

I read and re-read this when I was growing up. I loved it then and I love it now. Lucinda Wyman is a tomboy who doesn't fit into the box that her time and place would like to put her in. Her parents' trip to Italy buys her a year of freedom in which to explore 1890's New York on roller skates. The story of Lucinda, the wonderful people she befriends in the amazing city she loves was mesmerizing to me as a kid. I loved Lucinda and could relate to her because I didn't quite fit in, either, and I loved to read and talk to all kinds of people, and I made puppets and put on plays with them and adored The Tempest. I still love just about all of those things (although I don't do puppet shows anymore) and I still love this book with its simple pleasures and enduring tragedies and joy of being alive and free out in the great big wonderful world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13430263-roller-skates](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13430263-roller-skates) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
