(3) 1-3 My America series. Set in Philadelphia in 1776, this absorbing addition to the series offers the short diary entries of nine-year-old Hope. She helps her pregnant mother with chores and worries about her father, who is at sea on a wartime mission, and her brother, who has run away to join the Redcoats. Historical events are woven smoothly into the story, and a note at the end provides further information on the period.
