School Library Journal - 10/01/2007 Gr 4-6-Twelve-year-old Allie's fourth adventure involves her town's pageant about its history during the Revolutionary War, written by the wife of a pushy, wealthy businessman, Darryl Kavanaugh. He demands that his daughter star as a Seneca girl, even though Allie had been chosen for the role, and everyone, including the town council, bows to his wishes. Allie starts experiencing dreams about a ghost who she eventually realizes is a Seneca girl murdered when Washington sent an army to destroy all Six Nations. Kavanaugh plans on building an enormous hotel on sacred ground where the massacre took place. Allie startles people by speaking as the ghost. Despite multiple threats from Kavanaugh, and with a little help from a teacher and a local junk-store owner, she and her friends are able to add a truthful ending to the pageant. Allie and Dub are likable, well-drawn characters, and kids will cheer when they are able to thwart the plans of an adult bully.-B.
