Summary: Forced to spend months at an aunt's house, Elizabeth feel a connection to her ancestor Zee, whose picture hangs on the wall, and who reveals her story of hardships during the Revolutionary War as Elizabeth comes to terms with her own troubles.
Lots of Revolutionary War books this year! I always enjoy Giff's books--Pictures of Hollis Woods is one of my favorites. This one's not as strong, and more importantly, it's not as strong as other contenders this year. I will recommend it to girls who enjoy historical fiction, and the doppelganger effect created by Elizabeth and Zee is an interesting device, but not distinguished.
