The Spirit and Gilly Bucket

Summary: Gilly's Spirit
Review: Although Gilly's spirit is not the one referred to in the title of this delightful young person's book; the heart and spirit of our young heroine is truly what this book is about.As knowledge comes to Gilly by snatches of overheard adult conversations, and is filtered through her eleven year old mind, Gilly becomes more and more caught up in the web of danger and intrigue taking place around her. There comes a time when Gilly can no longer sit still and do nothing, and she starts out on her own to right the wrongs she is sure are happening."Gilly" is a delightful book that takes place in the pre-civil war days of our country. She is a wonderful young heroine that will capture your heart as you find yourself rooting for her all the way to the end.Ms. Dalhberg's book is a delight to read and is very well researched. It would be a book any young lover of books would treasure.
