When Benjy and his sister Fran are sent to their grandmother’s in Virginia for spring break, they are not sure what to expect. They never would have imagined Miss to be spunky, lively, and strong. While she disproves of their father’s actions, she takes them in as family. While exploring some of the historical sites, Benjy discovers a link to the past that no one would believe him. Through this link, Benjy realizes that he is capable of more than he once thought he was.
This book would be great for late elementary students and middle school students. It has adventure mixed with history. It does have a Southern spin on it but this is good for discussion and seeing a side that people don’t always get to see.
