Joe Wood has big dreams. He wants to be a newspaperman, and though
he's only thirteen, he's already borrowed money for the equipment
to start his own press. But it's April 1861, and the young nation
is teetering on the brink of a civil war. He has to help Owen, his
young assistant, deal with the challenges of being black in a white
world torn apart by color. He needs to talk his best friend,
Charlie, out of enlisting. He wants to help a young spiritualist,
Nell, whose uncle claims can she speak to the dead. And when Owen
disappears, it's up to Joe to save him. Lea Wait skillfully draws
on the lives of real people in Maine's history to tell this story
of three young adults touched by war and the tensions it brings,
forcing them into adulthood before they may be ready.
