The year is 1861. Civil war is imminent and Tilly Pruitt's brother, Noah, is eager to go and fight on the side of the North. With her father long gone, Tilly, her sister, and their mother struggle to make ends meet and hold the dwindling Pruitt family together. Then one night a mysterious girl arrives on a steamboat bound for St. Louis. Delphine is unlike anyone the small river town has even seen. Mrs. Pruitt agrees to take Delphine and her dark, silent traveling companion in as boarders. No one in town knows what to make of the two strangers, and so the rumors fly. Is Delphine's companion a slave? Could they be spies for the South? Are the Pruitts traitors? A masterful tale of mystery and war, and a breathtaking portrait of the lifelong impact one person can have on another.

My 7th grader asked me to read this because he didn't understand a few parts. A fantastic book taking place at the start of the civil war. The discussion that followed was worth millions with my son. I wish I had to read great books when I was in school.

Set in southern Illinois in 1861, two women disembark from a riverboat looking for shelter. Noah and Tilly, twins, board the women in their home and are mesmerized by the New Orleans travelers Delphine and Calinda. Delphine is a glamorous young woman, while Calinda is her black servant. When Noah is sent to fight in the Civil War, Tilly and Delphine are sent to

But no woman would have called it a victory." Curled up in a grey naugahyde seat at the boarding gate in Nashville, I awaited my connecting flight to this year's International Reading Association Convention and joyfully inhaled the first of the fall's heavyweight contenders for the Newbery medal--Richard Peck's THE RIVER

Slow in the beginning, but it picked up pace quite a lot towards the middle and end. Not my favorite by Richard Peck, but I did learn some new details about the Civil War.This won the Scott O'Dell award in 2004.
