About this title

Synopsis:

The third book in the Pioneer Daughter series

It's the winter of 1780, and Hannah's family has been living in a one-room shed since the British burned down their house. When news comes that Hannah's brother Ben, a soldier, has been captured by the British, Hannah tries to keep busy making candles and helping to rebuild their home. But she can't help worrying about Ben...until suddenly a stranger arrives bringing unexpected news.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-5-Hannah Perley's home in Fairfield, CT, has been burned by the British, along with all of the shops and many other houses in the area. Hannah's father is a clockmaker and the family is living in his shop until their house is rebuilt. Her older brother Ben is in the Continental Army. The story details life during this long, cold winter when there is little food and the family finds out that Ben has been taken prisoner by the British. Toward the end of the winter, he is released, and ill and weak, makes his way back home. This final volume in the "Hannah" trilogy gives a realistic glimpse into what life was like during this period. Full-page pencil drawings, spot art, and a map illustrate the volume. Large print, easy vocabulary, and short sentences make this title appropriate for children moving into chapter books, but the story will be of most interest to those who have read the first two books in the series.
