    About this series

    (Slashings--n. Broken branches, splintered trunks, and other debris left on the ground after lumbering: The slashings lay strewn about like casualties of war, cold, gray and skeletal.)

    Grace Nickerson's life has been shattered by four years of war. She's desperate to return to a sense of normalcy, but soon after her father returns, he sells the farm and drags the family to a lumber camp in Michigan's northern wilderness. Living in the primitive camp is dangerous enough, with its rough loggers and hard-bitten soldiers, but then a series of accidents prove intentional. Who is sabotaging the camp, and why? Will the winter in the woods bring the healing Grace's family needs? Or will it drive a wedge between Grace and her father?

    Likened to the rich literary style of Ann Rinaldi but with its own twist of adventure, Beneath the Slashingspeeks into the colorful culture of the early lumber industry and explores the lives of Americans rebuilding after war. Find out why so many teachers have incorporated this Civil War historical fiction series into classrooms across the country. The price is kept deliberately low so you can feel as good about the cost as you do about the content. Download your child's copy today and open a door to America's past.

      Runaways hidden in the barn, slave catchers lodged in the hotel, and Emily squeezed between two very different loyalties. Danger is the last thing Emily Preston thought she'd encounter in her uncle's hotel. She'd been forced to travel to Detroit, sent by her parents from their plantation home. Now she's vowed to become the most disagreeable houseguest ever. She doesn't count on Uncle Isaac's iron will. And she has no idea what to do with Malachi, the son of freed slaves who challenges every idea she's grown up believing. Malachi's lessons finally begin to sink in when Emily stumbles across two runaways hidden in her uncle's barn. And they're about to become personal as she's drawn into operations of the Underground Railroad. Meanwhile, Mr. Burrows, the charming Southern slave catcher, is only yards away, lodged in the hotel. Likened to the rich literary style of Ann Rinaldi but with its own twist of adventure, The Candle Star wraps American history in an exciting, kid-pleasing package.

      Will war provide the adventure Hannah longs for, or will she always be confined to the farm? Hannah Wallace craves excitement, but all local adventures dried up long ago, when her parents unpacked their wagon on the Michigan frontier. Then war breaks out and her father and older brother leave to fight the Confederacy. Hannah is left at home chafing under the boredom of never-ending chores, jealous of her brother's lucky opportunity, and haunted by old memories—until unscrupulous speculators set their sights on the unmanned farm. The one place she longs to leave suddenly becomes the one place she'll risk everything to save.  Likened to the rich literary style of Ann Rinaldi but with its own twist of adventure, Blood of Pioneers presents the struggles and dangers of the least-remembered front of the Civil War—the home front.
