Bab: A Sub-Deb

If you are looking for a female lead character who will make you literally laugh out loud, then the one you’ll find in Mary Robert Rinehart’s Bab: A Sub-Deb. She is a combination of humor and mystery, and you will be cheering her on in her misadventures to prove that she is much more than a “sub-deb”. Set pre-World War I, Bab gets to experience life when the roles of women were changing, and fast. She decides to show the world that she is independent, and she does so through a series of misadventures and mysteries. Written as a series of papers or diary entries, you’ll read it so fast that you’ll be sad to finish it.
