In Grannie Annie, Vol. 13, you can watch an American Civil War battle from your front porch, then journey by ship and train, on a school bus and in a lonely camper trailer Ñ even in a junk-yard cart. All this, still it is but a taste of the 528 stories shared with The Grannie Annie this year. Written and illustrated by young people in grades 4 through 8, the 35 family stories in this volume carry you to 10 states and 13 countries. You'll meet everything from surprise to despair to unbelievable kindness. And you wonÕt be alone. YouÕll be traveling with some of the bravest and most imaginative family members around. There will be questions along the way: When is it okay to cry? When is it okay to run? ThereÕs a chance you might sink or swim. Or you might be dancing in the street or singing with the radio and then BAM! You might decide to live every day, for love. You may even be inspired to discover and write your own family stories!
