Jennie Fleming is helping the war effort. The Seattle ten-year-old is using a hoe to win World War II--she's growing vegetables in a 'Victory Garden' on the vacant lot she and her brother once used as a baseball field. But serving a lager cause some times demands sacrifice, and Jennie's willing to do whatever it takes to see the war ended. Soon, though, Jennie's war efforts take on a darker hue when she suspects a new man in her neighborhood may be a spy. What can such a young girl do? Let the Sister's In Time series take you back to 1944--where you may find that Jennie Fleming isn't that much different than you! Recommended for ages 8 to 12. This story is based on (and very similar to) The Home Front from the American Adventure Series. |
