Yes, Rebecca does save the day in this book but the disaster is caused in part by her own disobedience... If I had disobeyed as she did regardless if I saved the day later I would of been punished. Growing up in an extremely conservative home I too had issues with how my brother was treated differently just because he was a boy.I think it is fine for girls to want to play sports... I think it is healthy to run and play. I don't believe parents should say it is not for girls....but I also know from experience trying to look brave to impress a brother and disobeying in the process never works out well. But in the end of this story the siblings come together and great love shines.
