With her tanned skin, twelve-year-old Allie could be a Cherokee, like her best friend, Leaf. When soldiers force Leaf and her family from their Georgia home, Allie is also taken and shares the horrors of what became known as the Trail of Tears. While the girls' eventual rescue by Allie's father strains credulity, young fans of historical fiction will enjoy this story of friendship.
