Many other reviewers are saying the 1950s Appalachian voice in this book is pitch-perfect, so I may be all alone in my opinion, but I thought it was overdone. I can only take so many folksy analogies (e.g. "He didn't weigh much more than a mess of green beans") before I start to feel queasy. If it weren't for the heavy dialect, I might have given this four stars.
Recommended for girls 10-14 who are interested in historical fiction. You can maybe sell this by mentioning that Katniss from [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1337857402s/2767052.jpg|2792775] is portrayed as Appalachian and these characters could be her ancestors.
