	Angel of The Battlefield Ann Hood (2011) , 0 pages Audience: Intermediate (4th-6th grade) Category: Community Helpers Divorce and Remarriage Families Fantasy Feelings Historical Moving
Request this book from the Library When Masie and Felix's parents divorce, the twelve-year-old twins reluctantly move from New York City to Rhode Island with their Mom. Their new home is a mansion that once belonged to their great aunt but is now owned by the local preservation society. Living in a historic mansion sounds exciting but the family is restricted to the small, hot servant's quarters. Expecting their new life in Rhode Island to be boring, the twins are in for a surprise when they discover a secret room that transports them to the year 1836, where they meet a young Clara Barton. A short epilogue provides an account of Clara Barton's life and many contributions during the Civil War and after. Ann Hood's new series will appeal to Magic Tree House fans who are looking for a more challenging read. Librarian review written by Rachel

Request this book from the Library I thought this book was a great one for those who have struggled through cancer, and would reccomend to ages 11 and up. Hope is a girl, and her mom couldn't take care of her so she gave her to her aunt. Her new family moves a lot. Everytime she moves, she writes her name on a door or window. When she moved to Wisconsin to begin her life over again, she soon meets new friends and starts working at a diner. The manager has cancer, but doesn't limit his possibilities. He believes that he could do anything even though he is sick. About a year later, something tragic happens that no one can forget, but in the end, everything works out ok. Kid review written by Hannah, Age 11
