The Bread WinnerPaperback, 30 August 2004

When Sarah's family lose their farm and are forced to move to Shantytown at the height of the Great Depression, Sarah saves them from starvation and complete despair by selling her prize-winning bread. "Sarah is a strong female protagonist and the well-structured story is fast paced, while Whitmore's evocation of the period allows the readers to share the desperation of hard-working, decent people." -- Kirkus Reviews
