Addy Saves the Day: A Summer Story

After the Civil War ends, many families like Addy's are searching for their loved ones. This summer, Addy's church is putting on a fund-raising fair to help people hurt by the war. When Addy has to work at the fair with snobby Harriet, their feud heats up again--until tragedy forces the girls to soften their hearts. The fair is a great success. Then, suddenly, the girls discover that the money they've raised has been stolen. Addy saves the day, which ends with a wonderful surprise.

A story about overcoming bitterness--probably the best Addy book and one of the best American Girls books period. Also a bit of an adventure in chasing down a thief...
