Illus. in black-and-white. Nine-year-old Hannah, living on a farm in 1887
Michigan, is referred to as ‘poor Hannah’ because she is blind. In this brief
historical novel, Hannah tells of a turning point in her life when Miss Robbin,
the new teacher, comes to board with them and eventually persuades the family
to let Hannah attend school. A touching, believable story with strong
characterizations and sense of place. – Horn Book.
