4-6Dear America series.
In this follow-up to The Winter of Red Snow, Abigail and her family follow George Washington's Revolutionary War regiment. Abby is a young teenager coming of age during wartime, and her growth is both realistic and engaging. Historical information occasionally overtakes the story's plot line, but fans of the Dear America series may welcome the background and will otherwise find a solid read.
