One plot in the first book involved a mentally ill aunt. When the girls visit her, she tells one of them that her shoes are &#8220;shit brown,&#8221; and the librarian or administration at my school had very noticeably blacked out the word &#8220;shit&#8221;. I think in one of the books a death in the family is also dealt with. There were occasional black and white illustrations in the books. They were probably each less than 100 pages. I have a sense that they may have taken place in Germany or Austria. If not, then maybe the characters were immigrants to the USA from one of those countries. I&#8217;m picturing a purple or light blue cover\/binding.
