Addy Saves the Day: A Summery Story (American Girl: Addy #5) by Connie Rose Porter

 

Summary (from the publisher): A brave young black girl who fled North with her mother during the Civil War has a feud with her rival, Harriet, until tragedy forces them to resolve their differences and become friends.

Review: Another wonderful installment in Addy's series! Addy and her family work hard with their church community to raise money at a local fair to help recently freed people. This leads to Addy clashing yet again with Harriet - the snooty, spoiled girl from her school who has been unkind to her in the past. But this time, Addy promises her parents that she will try to work things out with Harriet. 

There is a very dramatic chase scene in this book that kept tension very high! I read this with my daughters and they both loved it. This also had a very heartwarming ending that had me tearing up. This remains one of my favorite American Girl series. Such moving stories, such endearing characters, and great life lessons. I loved rereading this with my daughters.
