First published in 1911, ‘Patty’s Motor Car’ is the ninth in the wholesome ‘Patty Fairfield’ children’s series by Carolyn Wells. Patty enters and wins a contest to win a car in which she has lots of adventures. There is also fun to be had when all her friends come to visit her in her new family summer house on the beach. Patty also celebrates her nineteenth birthday in this story, and her relationships begin to develop. –
