| | | Believing herself to be a frontier child in 1840, Jessie is shocked when her mother reveals a secret--it's really 1996. After a diphtheria outbreak strikes the village children, Jessie must venture out into the modern world where she faces a wealth of confusing 20th century innovations and the sinister man who will stop at nothing to make sure the village residents remain locked in their 19th century world.
Annotation:
This YA thriller was an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. Clifton is an 1840 pioneer village. The village doctor used to have special pills that would cure any illness. But those pills are all gone now, and Clifton is suffering from a diptheria epidemic. Mrs. Keyser, the midwife, tells her daughter, 13-year-old Jessie, a shocking truth about Clifton, and sends her for help outside of the village, into a world full of amazing things and unknown dangers.
