1. A Note From Richard Peck

-The new minister and his family find themselves moving in next door to the biggest, scariest old lady in town

-Two girls on the last riverboat out of Civil War New Orleans flee north, taking with them an explosive secret

-A boy gets the shock of his life when the new teacher in his one-room schoolhouse turns out to be…his sister

-An Illinois farm family, who have never seen a lightbulb, set off for the greatest fair of all times, the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893

“Who are these people? They’re characters from some of my books. Are they real people? They are to me. But I put them together from all kinds of people I’ve known and read and imagined. And did their adventures happen to me? Yes, in a way- right there at my writing desk, because a story must be real to the writer before it can ever be real to readers.”
