INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Hahn, Mary Downing

Anna All Year Round

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Diane deGroat. Based on the childhood of the author's mother, this engaging episodic novel follows the everyday adventures of third-grader Anna Sherwood growing up in pre-WWI Baltimore. Hahn's use of the present tense helps keep nostalgia at bay, as does the energetic, just-dashed-off quality of deGroat's rough pencil sketches.
