What is Annie (Ellie's People) about?
<p>An Amish family opens their hearts and home to a deserted child, Pearlie Mae. They change her name to Annie and raised her in the Amish way.</p><h3>School Library Journal</h3><p>Gr 5-7Those seeking to balance the blood, gore, and sex of their series collections may be interested in the last installment in a 10-volume set of contemporary Christian fiction. (It stands alone.) Nine-year-old Annie is a poor country girl who is left in the care of an Amish family while her mother pursues her drunken father. Dad is imprisoned, and Mom dies of a fever, giving Borntrager the opportunity to relate the customs, vocabulary, and lifestyle of her native sect as Annie is assimilated into the Troyer family. The central conflict concerns Lucy Troyer's growing jealousy of the attention and special consideration shown to her friend. The emotions are convincing enough, and some of the supporting cast, particularly the parents, are multidimensional. Sophisticated urbanites may scoff at the traditional path that teenage Annie trodsinto the carriage of eligible Leon Troyerbut many communities will embrace the clear values and quotes from Scripture.Wendy Lukehart, Dauphin County Library, Harrisburg, P
