(3) 4-6 Plainspoken twelve-year-old Dovey narrates her experiences growing up in North Carolina in the 1920s with her older sister, Caroline, and their hearing-impaired brother Amos. When Caroline's onerous former suitor is murdered, Dovey stands trial for the crime. This plot development provides suspense, but the novel's greatest strengths are the evocatively described setting and Dovey's distinctive voice.
