Nine-year-old Hannah would do almost anything to go to school with all the other children in town. But Hannah is blind, and her parents keep her at home, where she is safe. Then Lydia Robbin, a strong-willed teacher, comes to town and convinces Hannah’s parents to send her to school. At first Hannah is overjoyed. But she soon learns that there are many obstacles—and people—that stand in her way. Hannah will need tremendous courage to prove to her classmates, her parents, and herself that Miss Robbin was right to believe in her.

January 1, 1991
In this brief novel set in 1887 Michigan, nine-year-old Hannah, who is blind, tells of a turning point in her life when the new teacher comes to board with Hannah's stern family and eventually persuades them to let Hannah attend school. A touching, believable story with strong characterization and sense of place.(Copyright 1991 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
