Illustrated by
Yan Nascimbene.
As summer draws to a close, a young boy feels anxious about starting first grade. Oddly, Mom and Dad don't seem overly concerned about his "first grade jitters"; luckily, an impromptu playdate with pals from kindergarten reassures him that all will be fine. This newly illustrated edition is aided by attractive, expressive drawings.

When a young woman, Wyn Mabie, meets George Washington just after the fall of New York Island in 1776, she volunteers to return to his headquarters, overrun by the British, and retrieve important papers. Although the story is about one of Quackenbush's relatives and has been carefully researched, Wyn's eagerness to take on the dangerous mission seems overly simplified.
