Part of our Depression Era study. My 9yo likes novels in letters (epistolary). This book incidentally taught her to recognize and steer clear of double negatives. We followed Hannah's outline for a book report and turned it back on this book and my 9yo created a wonderful report.

I love Hannah's cheery and optimistic voice, I also love reading letters from Hannah's grandmother and Edward. Franklin Roosevelt is very inspiring and his and others personalities shine through in their letters which is amazing as the author has never met them, but after reading this book I feel like I have.
