Sue Barton, Rural Nurse - Helen Dore Boylston

[goodreads]

Title: Sue Barton, Rural Nurse Author: Helen Dore Boylston Genre: YA, classics Rating: 7/10 # pages: 128 Date read: January, 2008

Summary: Sue takes her visiting nurse career to New Hampshire, so she can work with her fiance, Bill Barry. The highlight of the book is when they track down a typhoid carrer in order to stop an epidemic. The town badly needs a hospital, though. Will the drastic circumstances of a hurricane open the people's eyes to this need?

Review: Better than I remembered it, but because it doesn't have the same nostalgic pull on me, I can't rate it higher than 7/10.

I wonder if something got lost in the translation concerning Bill's brother. We haven't heard about him at all in the earlier books, and suddenly he's in Europe and has to get electronic treatments - with no explanation as to why! Not that it's important for the book, I just found it odd.

Very much a transitional book, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the next will bring
