(3) 4-6 Dear America series. As talk of hostility increases just prior to Texas's war of independence from Mexico, thirteen-year-old Lucinda does what she can to help her family. Her father opposes the war, but her brother goes to San Antonio to defend the Alamo. Lucinda's story is engaging while showing the complicated issues of the revolution. The book includes a historical note and pictures from the time.
