Return to Stony Clove again. This time Eileen Charbonneau centers around a young girl who searches for her kidnapped friend. The friend is a free black woman who is captured and returned to a life of slavery. Young Lily Woods begins the hunt to rescue her friend. A touching story for all races to show how the underground railroad helped save many. ***Teachers should pay close attention to this one. Perhaps some should consider making it a required read sometime during the school year.***
An engrossing tale of courage.

This book brings the Woods trilogy to a close--one which the reader is reluctant to see! Lily Woods is 15 when she is forced to confront harsh issues diving the country in 1851. When slavecatchers arrive in the community, Lily learns that her family has been involved in the Underground Railroad. Lily decides to risk her own safety in order to help, only to find herself in the middle of a riverboat wreck. Charbonneau deftly adds a touch of the supernatural to this engrossing tale. Honor to the Hills was recently chosen for the prestigious "Notable Children's Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies" list, compiled by The Children's Book Council and the National Council for the Social Studies
