Publisher's description:

Kate Coleman had done a lot of exciting things in her life. She had fired a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun. She had ridden the escalator at Rich's department store in Atlanta, and she had been to a picture show at the Fox Theater, where the lights in the ceiling twinkled like stars. She had seen the inside of an airplane, but she had not ridden in one. Except for that, Kate guessed she had done just about everything there was to do in that part of Georgia. And it was a good thing, because there was a war on, World War II, and war was an inconvenience.
In this warm, nostalgia-touched novel, Robert Burch writes with distinction of a sixth-grade class in a deep Georgia town and its reactions to a world at war. Forced to leave their regular school building because of overcrowding, Kate and her friends do their bit for the home front by attending class in an old cabin.This partial isolation brings a splendid solidarity to the class with a beginning understanding of the war and the reverberations of its sorrow.
Funny, touching, by turns, Hut School and the Wartime Home-Front Heroes is a novel youngsters today will not soon forget.
