(3) 4-6 Bones is an eleven-year-old slave in Virginia; Lady Bess is a British twelve-year-old; Mary Margaret is a twelve-year-old Irish immigrant. Three girls from vastly different circumstances are connected by a bottle that accumulates their personal mementos as it travels on ocean currents from Virginia to England to Boston. Their stories are told separately but satisfyingly linked. This is intriguing historical fiction.
