Cynthia of Bee Tree Hollow

When the building of a new dam threatens to flood their hollow, Cynthia and her family must leave the only home they've ever known. Ma and Pa want to "turn tail and crawl up Brushy Mountain" to live far from friends and society, where there would be no school for Cynthia to attend, and she can't let that happen. Now she must somehow convince her family to leave their beloved mountain home and start a new life on the unfamiliar bottomland.
