The third installment of "Tales of Young Americans" takes place in
1863 Gettysburg, site of the Civil War's bloodiest battle. Gabe, an
11-year-old bugler in the Union Army, is eyewitness to this event.
But more important to him is watching over his older brother Davy,
who is in the thick of the fighting. Two of Gabe's older brothers
have already perished, and he is not willing to lose the one he has
left. This story draws questions about loyalty and honor that will
resonate with young readers.
Long ago in a faraway place there lived two mothers. One, a
humble peasant woman who struggled daily to provide for her
children. And the other, a mother spider who also worked hard to
care for her family. And although it would appear they were as
different as night and day, these two mothers had more in common
than would first seem.
As the only holiday gift she can give her children, one cold
Christmas Eve the peasant woman goes to the forest to get a tree,
never noticing that someone has made a home among its branches.
During the night, the mother spider spins webs decorating the tree,
resulting in a Christmas that neither mother will ever forget.

Delly Porter has a happy life. She needs new shoes, but doesn't
really mind because she loves the soft, silky feel of the dirt road
beneath her bare feet. She's a good artist, too, even if she has to
make her own art supplies. And she loves her schoolteacher, Miss
Violet, who lets her help in the classroom. Life only looks
brighter when Miss Violet announces the school will have a Shoebox
Social to help raise funds for new art materials. But when what
should be a festive occasion is threatened by prejudice and
cruelty, Delly finds out that one must stay true to oneself to
successfully navigate life's joys and sorrows. From Trinka Hakes
Noble, the author of The Scarlet Stockings Spy and The Last
Brother, comes the story of a young girl who learns the most
precious things in life are not measured in dollars and cents but
by the warmth of one's heart. And that truth, beauty, and love are
in the eye of the beholder.

strikes oil, inherits a fortune, and is visited by the President.
