From a Civil War battlefield to lower Manhattan on 9/11, this twelfth annual volume of historical family stories takes you far Ñ yet it is but a taste of the 522 stories shared with The Grannie Annie this year. Written and illustrated by young people in grades 4 through 8, the thirty-eight family stories in this volume will transport you to five continents, and back in time as far as six generations. The stories stretch from heartwarming to haunting, as some family members experience unbelievably good luck, and others experience miracles. YouÕll read of family members in hiding Ñ under a blackberry bush or in plain sight. And yes, there are stories about food Ñ about neighborly barbecues, about a private stash of ice cream cones, and of course, about cookies. Lots of cookies. Some stories may inspire you to learn something new or to find a way to light up the world Ñ you may even be inspired to clean your attic. Happy reading to you, and may you be inspired to discover and write your own family stories!
