She was trying to solve a mystery of a lost doll belonging to another girl named Sally. It turned out that the doll belonged to her great aunt Sarah, called Sally as a child. Sally had been given a set of books that she took to her aunts. During a rainstorm/flooding, she read to a group of schoolchildren to keep them calm. (I’m pretty sure that was part of this same book.) She was able to find the doll when she noticed that her cat had been playing in a corner of the attic and had a piece of doll hair stuck in its claws.

Norma Kassirer, Secret Elizabeth

The reading-aloud-in-storm scence is not in this book, but the rest of the details match. The book is Magic Elizabeth, but the part about reading to children in a rainstorm isn’t part of it. Definitely the book. Magic Elizabeth, without a doubt! Bet you get lots of answers on this one . Nancy Kassirer, Magic Elizabeth, 1966. I’m pretty sure this is the book you are looking for. Sally looks for the doll in a picture in her Great Aunt’s spooky house she goes back in time and eventually figures out that the little girl in the picture is her aunt a cat does help her find the doll hidden in a crevice in the attic.

There is a book called Utopian and Dystopian Writing for Children and Young Adults by Carrie Hintz , and it’s possible she covers your book in there. Robert O’Brien, Z for Zachariah.

They’re SF, on Earth in the future, and mostly on space ships, I think. There’s a command center operating out of Omaha, NE.
