Description: Every year, Yorktown, Virginia, relives its role in the Revolutionary War by celebrating the anniversary of the British surrender in 1781. This year, plans include a re-enactment of the original battle and a colonial craft fair. Meg Langslow has returned to her home town for the festivities--and to sell her wrought-iron works of art. Except, of course, for the pink-painted flamingos she reluctantly made for her mother's best friend--she's hoping to deliver them secretly, so she won't geta reputation as "the blacksmith who makes those cute wrought-iron flamingos."
Notes: Contains an excerpt from the author's Crouching lizzard, leaping loon (p. [297]-306).
