A Penny for a Hundred SB

A Penny for a Hundred by Ethel Pochocki. It was 1944, and nine year old Clare is old enough to help harvest potatoes, In Aroostook County, Maine, schools close in the fall, and whole families work to bring in the crop. This year, with many of the local men off to war, German POWs are brought in to help with the crop. Clare and her family are not sure what to expect from the strangers, but it soon becomes clear that these men aren't so very different from young American soldiers. For Christmas, Clare is determined to recreate at least one familiar holiday tradition for Peter, an English speaking POW who has befriended her. Her gift, and Peter's present in return, strengthen the bonds of an unlikely and gentle friendship. 7" x 10", 31 page paperback. To order by phone Call Toll Free: 866-596-9982
