"Austin's visit to his grandmother's is the first since Grandpa died. Austin notices Grandpa's things but feels the emptiness of his absence. This spare story vividly captures the emotions of painful times and shows how they ease with sharing and remembering. Boy and grandfather were close, but boy and grandmother seem destined to be just as close, with Grandpa's memory to bind them. Poignant and perceptive, this has impressive resonance, and readers won't easily shed its warm afterglow."--(starred) Booklist. From the Trade Paperback edition.

England and France were now beginning to struggle for the possession of the New World. The French, following the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, had claimed for France all the country south of those waters and west of the Alleghanies. They had found how rich the Ohio country was, and by making friends with the Indians, and by building a chain of forts, they expected to make good their claim. Virginia, also, claimed most of this territory, saying that her charter gave her all the country as far as the Pacific Ocean. Pennsylvania claimed part of it as a gift of King Charles to William Penn. Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York, also had claims under their charters.
