description: A Grand Tour!  It’s 1907, and best friends Violet and Marion are excited about their upcoming trip to Europe—a rite of passage for wealthy teens after high school. But they’re not too excited that Helen, a rancher’s daughter with a rich aunt, is joining them.  All three teens know the rules for well-bred young ladies: Don’t go anywhere without your chaperone! Don’t speak to strangers, especially men! And when you return to Denver, settle into a life of boring parties and pleasing your husband.  But they’re already restless.  What awaits Helen, Violet, and Marion in Paris, where society rules aren’t as strict? Where they meet a famous fashion designer, a ground-breaking female artist, and some fancy-dressed dogs? And in London, where they join the fight for women’s rights?  Will their chaperone Lena, a rule-breaker herself, keep them out of serious trouble while giving them the freedom they need to become women of the new century?  Ages 11 and older will love meeting young women of the early twentieth century in this charming young adult historical novel.
