description: As the Civil War comes to a close, resourceful Hannalee must find her way home. In this classic historical fiction for young readers, plucky twelve-year-old Hannalee Reed, sent north to work in a Yankee mill, struggles to return to the family she left behind in war-torn Georgia. This powerful early-middle grade novel, based on historical events, reveals a little-known side to our most significant American conflict. "A fast-moving novel based upon an actual historical incident with a spunky heroine and fine historical detail." (S chool Library Journal) "There are few authors who can consistently manage both to entertain and inform." ( Booklist)
