Description

Sheila Turnage meets Kate DiCamillo’s On account of Winn-Dixie in this debut about a small town and a young girl who discovers some old circle of relatives secrets.
 
Lou could be only twelve, but she’s never been one to take things sitting down. So when her Civil War-era house is about to be condemned, she’s decided to put it aside—either by getting it deemed a historic landmark or by finding the stash of gold rumored to be hidden nearby all the way through the war. As Lou digs into the past, her eyes are opened when she finds that her ancestors ran the gamut of slave owners, renegades, thieves and abolitionists. Meanwhile, some incidents in her town show her that many Civil War era prejudices still live on and that the past can keep repeating itself if we let it. Digging into her past shows Lou that it’s never too late to fight injustice, and she starts to look the true value of figuring out and exploring her roots.
