Summary: Loved the Book!
Review: Truth Hopkins is an orphan and now living with her aunt,uncle and two cousins. When she finds out they are a station on the underground railroad she does everything she can do to help them. This is an exciting story about the Civil War and the QUakers who did not believe in war. The book shows how one girl van make a big difference. I like it when Truth saves her cousin from a prison in the North. It is a wonderful way to learn about the Civil War from different points of views.

Summary: Quaker Girl
Review: Truth Hopkins, a twelve-year old Quaker, is forced to leave her father and move to South Carolina with her Aunt and Uncle. At first she is not well received and thought of as a kettle cousin, or a person who just going to eat food and not help. Soon though, she proves herself. She finds out that her relatives are conductors on the Underground Railroad. She travels with her Uncle on the underground railroad to New York to retrieve her cousin, who was captured by the Union when he was forced to march in the front of the Confederate lines at Gettysburg.

Patricia Beatty's story is very fast paced, and major events are happening all the time. This makes for a very quick read. I like her writing because she describes the setting, before she tells you what is happening. She is also very descriptive. This book was very interesting, and a great historical fiction, but I didn't care much for the particular area of the Civil War it is about, so that made it hard for me to like it much. I recommend this book to intermediate grades and above, because I doubt anyone younger would be interested, or be able to comprehend much of it.
