Much like this thread, I am looking for a thanksgiving themed novel for a similar group. Suggestions?

That one looks great but it says it's for ages 4-8 and most of our kids are 9-13. Does anyone know if the recommended reading level on Amazon is accurate?

It's not a novel but what about Thank you, Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving?

I'd love to find a copy of An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott this year.

Clyde Robert Bulla's A Lion to Guard Us, if you worked up lessons would be okay.

You could go with a Sister's in Time novel like Mayflower Adventure.

I think we are going to go with A Lion to Guard Us. We just read Adam of the Road which was about a little boy so I think a little girl's story will be appreciated by the girls in the group.
