Hannah of Fairfield (Pioneer Daughters)

Summary: A great book to read!
Review: The book I read was called Hannah of Fairfield by Jean Van Leeuwen. This book takes place in Fairfield, Connecticut during the war of Independence. Hannah's brother Ben wants to join the army but his father says "no" at first . Then they see the British march forward and the people in Fairfield think they are coming there. They walk right past them to Danbury and burn down the town. That is when Ben's father decides to let Ben join the army . Hannah and her mother and her sister have to sew all of Bens clothes in two days. They finish and Ben leaves to join General Washington's army.

I recommend this book for people that like old time books. My favorite part is when Hannah is sewing Ben's clothes. She stitches an "H" in the collar of his shirt. She was hoping one day he would find the "H" and remember her.

Summary: This was a sweet story.
Review: This was a sweet story about a little girl, Hannah, who is almost nine years old, and lives with her family on a farm in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1777. Hannah hates chores like sewing, knitting, and spinning. She'd rather take care of the baby lambs. She gets her chance when she saves the life of a baby lamb she names Smoke. And when her brother, Ben, goes off to fight for freedom in the war, Hannah does her part helping to get him ready. I enjoyed this book.
