LITTLE COLONEL'S MAID OF HONOR, THE
The Little Colonel is back, and this time she's a maid of honor. Her friend Eugenia is getting married, and the whole wedding party has come to stay at Lloyd's house. The old fashioned term for this kind of extended sleep-over/get-together is a "house party." Paperback.
LITTLE COLONEL, THE
One of the most beloved heroines of American children's literature, the Little Colonel, a delightful young Kentucky girl, is the central figure in this nostalgic tale of growing up in a leisurely age. Paperback.
MARY WARE IN TEXAS
The musicians were tuning their instruments somewhere behind the palms in the hotel courtyard. It was one of the older hotels of San Antonio, much sought by Northern tourists on account of that same inner garden, around which the big building stretched itself. The rooms opening on to it had vine-covered balconies, and, looking down from them into the tropical growth of palms and banana trees and roses, one felt that it was summer time, no matter what the calendar said. Paperback.
MARY WARE'S PROMISED LAND
Mary Ware, introduced to readers in The Little Colonel Series (all published by Pelican), is seventeen years old and ready for adventure. Although she is young, she has already had many travels and experiences, including a trip to New York City and a wonderful season at boarding school. Now she is heading back out West with her family, but not without leaving behind some unfulfilled hopes. Paperback.
MARY WARE, THE LITTLE COLONEL'S CHUM
For the first time, supporting character Mary Ware steps out of Annie Fellows Johnston's hugely popular The Little Colonel Series and into her very own collection of adventures. With Mary Ware's acceptance into Warwick Hall, a prestigious boarding school that had previously educated Lloyd Sherman, the Little Colonel, she quickly becomes a favored student with the headmistress, Madame Chartley. Paperback.
MONSIEUR DURAND'S GROSSE AFFAIRE
On May 21, 1870, Gerome Charles Durand staged a wedding that is still talked about more than a century after it occurred. Although Durand was one of the wealthiest men in St. Martinville, Louisiana, the fame of his grosse affaire (extravagant event) lies in its originality.
ONCE UPON A TIME ON A PLANTATION
Set prior to the Civil War, these tales reveal the mysteries, legends, and dangers of plantation life in the Deep South. The stories center on the friendship of two 12-year-old boys and were inspired by the actual events at South Carolina's grand Hampton Plantation. Hardcover.
PIRATE LAFITTE AND THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS, THE
In The Pirate Lafitte and the Battle of New Orleans, author Robert Tallant has given younger readers a chance to relive the excitement, romance, and thrill of those days when the Barataria pirates threatened river traffic and New Orleans felt the threat of siege by the British. This enthralling story from the pages of history is delightfully told with an emphasis on helping children understand the political events of the time as well as the social climate of the city in the early-nineteenth century.
SARAH BOONE
A Lowcountry Girl
The year 1780 is one of much confusion and excitement for eleven-year-old Sarah Boone. Living at Boone Hall in Charles Towne, South Carolina, she finds herself constantly observing the changing world in which she lives. Struggling to please her parents, Sarah is often caught between her desires to act like a rebellious tomboy and a proper young lady. Just when she begins to adjust to the changes around her, plantation life is made more interesting with the arrival of a baby sister and new slave family.
SON OF AN EARL . . . SOLD FOR A SLAVE
The 1770s were a turbulent time for the British Empire. Not only were the North American colonies edging towards revolution, but hostilities in Scotland turned neighbors into enemies when it came to serving the crown. Disputes over land and controlling power over the wealth of the countryside left many a manor on guard. The House of Gour in David B. Weems' new historical novel is an example of how the dangers of that time affected one Scottish family.

VICTOR LOPEZ AT THE ALAMO
Most people have heard of the famous siege at the Alamo, and have heard stories of the lives lost there. This informative historical novel for middle readers puts a human face on this battle. Paperback.
WHEN THE GREAT CANOES CAME
The heritage of the North American Indian tribes has always been passed down through storytelling as well as rituals of dance and song. Few written histories today can recount the past as well as the tribal elders who once served as the historical, philosophical, and cultural educators of the entire community. Mary Louise Clifford's When the Great Canoes Came recreates this lost practice for young readers as the setting for telling the history of the Virginian Indians following their first contact with European explorers at Jamestown.
YANKEES ON THE DOORSTEP:
THE STORY OF SARAH MORGAN
The Civil War is rarely shown through a young southern woman's perspective. Many of these women were displaced from their homes and lived their lives on the run from Northern shellfire. Sarah Morgan was one of those women. She was only 20 years old when the North took over her hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but she wrote about her experiences in her diaries with insight and clarity well beyond her years. Paperback.
