Betsy Zane was not a city girl and Philadelphia in 1781 was definitely a big city. Still, when she finally has the opportunity to join her brothers on the western frontier, the rugged life at Fort Henry was not exactly what she expected.  Betsy finds herself in the middle of a battle to save the fort: how will she survive?  (Jean Bellavance bellavance@erols.com for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2003)
