      About This Book

      She wanted to be like other girls--not an orphan.

      The matron at the orphanage is always telling Judy Abbott that her imagination will get her into trouble. But nothing she ever imagined is as surprising as what really happens to her.

      A wealthy trustee of the orphanage offers to send Judy to college--but he doesn't want her to know who he is. All she ever sees of him is his shadow--all arms and legs like a daddy-long-legs. Judy calls her generous benefactor Daddy-Long-Legs, but with her imagination it can't be long before she finds out his real name.
