(Silver Moon Press, June 15, 2006)
It is March of 1885, and New York City is preparing to accept a gift from the people of France to the people of America: the Statue of Liberty. There is a slight problem, though. The statue needs a base to stand on, and raising funds is proving difficult. Twelve-year-old Emma Kagan has a problem, too safely delivering a package from her Lower East Side neighborhood to a department store miles north. Little does Emma know that her errand will involve a newfound friend, the police, and the Statue of Liberty herself.
