Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself--because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of--a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan's journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity Carpet sweepers Sending out the laundry ), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

Great choice to save space
Color: Black, Color: Black
Works really well. Installation is simple with included hardware. Upgraded my laptop and was able to fit thicker laptop. Glad i saved space on small desk. Extremely sturdy and great price.

Pretty cheap but surprisingly solid
Color: Black
This thing comfortably fits my 16” MacBook Pro. It does tilt a bit probably due to me screwing it to the underside of my wooden desk which probably isn’t the exact use for it, but it holds really strong and isn’t going anywhere. Combining this with a small USB-C hub for some USB As and and extra HDMI and a little bit of Velcro, this holder makes for a pretty solid option to hide you laptop away if you a surprisingly clean desktop-like experience, even if you’re on a budget and can’t afford a desktop. A proper thunderbolt docking station would go a long way with this as well.

Works as advertised
Color: Black
Functions as described. Looks good. Laptop fits in loosely. I’d prefer a more snug fit. Other than that, works as advertised.

Genius solution for a cleaner, more organized desk
Color: Transparent, Color: Transparent
This mount completely transformed my workspace. I was looking for a way to get my laptop off my desk without buying a whole new piece of furniture, and this delivered. The clear design blends into any space so it doesn’t look clunky, and installation was easier than I expected. My laptop is secure and easily accessible, and I’ve freed up so much desk real estate. If you’re trying to create a cleaner, more minimal workspace, this is a great purchase. We did have to screw it in place because the sticky side came off after a few days, but I think it’s just the temperature fluctuations in my office.
