Lizzie Harlow was usually a very nice, courteous, and helpful little girl. Though she was only 7, she acted like she was a lot older sometimes, and this is because she was very bright for a kid her age. Nonetheless, there was one thing, which did bother Lizzie and that was no other than the elderly lady that lived on her street named Mrs. Crandall. Lizzie, as well as, other children on the block knew that the old lady who lived on the corner was a meanie.
