(3) 4-6 Dear America series. After eleven-year-old Lydia and her brother are orphaned in the 1918 influenza epidemic, they're sent to live in the Shaker community at Sabbathday Lake, Maine. Lowry masterfully establishes character, situation, and place as the reader experiences, right along with Lydia, her early struggles and eventual acceptance of the ordered, industrious life of the Shakers. An excellent addition to the Dear America series.
