The Root Cellar

Bestseller and an ALA Notable Book

It looked like an ordinary root cellar--and if twelve-year-old Rose hadn't been so unhappy in her new home, where she'd been sent to live with unknown relatives, she probably would never have fled down the stairs to the root cellar in the first place. And if she hadn't, she never would have climbed up into another century, the world of the 1860s, and the chaos of the Civil War.

"Melds past and present neatly . . . suspenseful."--Publishers Weekly
