Amanda M. Douglas returns with A Little Girl in Old Philadelphia, another instalment in her affectionate series of historical fiction. This time readers visit colonial Philadelphia, experiencing its streets, homes, and people through the eyes of a young girl navigating the customs and community of a city at a pivotal moment in American history.
Douglas’s talent for period detail and her gentle narrative voice make these books feel less like history lessons and more like time travel. Young readers with an interest in American history — or simply in a good story — will be charmed. Download the free EPUB and walk the cobblestones of old Philadelphia.
