(3) 4-6 A fourteen-year-old Jewish girl, living with her two sisters and their aunt in 1918 Boston, is sent away from home when an influenza epidemic hits the city. Hannah survives her own bout with the flu and finds refuge on the farm of an old German man. A mysterious angelic figure assists Hannah along the way--adding an unusual mystical element to this quietly effective historical narrative.
