(4) 4-6 Young Americans series. After her father's death, nine-year-old Maria takes care of her younger siblings and the domestic chores while her mother struggles to keep their printing business going. Based on the trials of a real family, the book includes biographical information about Maria and historical notes on colonial Williamsburg and the printing trade. The prose is stiff, but Maria's concerns for her family's well-being will strike a chord.
