(2) 4-6 Giff recounts the tragic days of Ireland's mid-nineteenth-century potato famine. Twelve-year-old Nory's struggle to find food for her family brings her to the outcast village wise woman, where she overcomes her superstitions to learn the art of healing. Reflective rather than suspenseful, this first-person narrative allows the reader to become an eyewitness to history. This is a story of raw courage that ends hopefully if not happily. Glos.
