(2) YA Every summer Chelsea's family works as living history interpreters at Colonial Essex Village. Things get awkward when she traitorously falls for a boy working at the village's rival across the street, Civil War Reenactment-land. The story, narrated in Chelsea's acerbically funny voice, is filled with specifics about Colonial life (and the lives of the interpreters) and meditations on history, memory, heartbreak, and love.
