The River Between Us | 
pickRead this with my fifth-graders. It was difficult for them to relate to the time period,but as I explained what was occurring in the story, they were amazed by the twists and turns of this Civil War historical fiction. When two exotic women disembark from a steamboat from New Orleans, they are invited to board with the Pruitt family and they turn the town upside down. Gossip and rumors abound. Are they southern spies?
