The Root Cellar
WINNER OF THE CLA CHILDREN’S
BOOK OF THE YEAR
It looked like an ordinary root cellar, the kind of place where you’d store canned goods, and winter vegetables. If twelve-year-old Rose hadn’t been so unhappy in her new home, she probably never would have fled down the stairs to the dark cellar. And if she hadn’t, she never would have climbed up into another century, the world of the 1860s, and the chaos of the American Civil War. There she makes her first friends—and they desperately need her help!

It is 1775 and Phoebe Olcott is plunged into the horrors of war when her cousin Gideon is hanged for being a British spy. When she finds the secret message he left behind, Phoebe knows she must deliver it. On a dangerous journey that brings her face to face with rebel guns and wild animals, she is befriended first by a cat and a bear cub, and then by Jem Morrissay, a young Loyalist escaping to British Canada. Although Phoebe and Jem discover their growing attraction for one another, Phoebe’s mission cannot be ignored. She must go on, alone.
