When the bank forecloses on her family's home during the Depression, eleven-year-old Margo writes to Eleanor Roosevelt for help. The girl's work and faith pay off when her family receives an emergency loan. Historical details are smoothly woven into the text, and Margo is a strong heroine. The (extremely) happy ending is substantiated by a note explaining that Mrs. Roosevelt saved the author's father's home through a New Deal relief program.
