P.J. Hartenaus: My Sometimes Pal - The Belden Series
Fifth grade teacher P.J. Hartenaus enjoys bringing history to life with tales that her students can relate to in the present. While exploring the unglaciated area of Galena, Illinois, Hartenaus came upon a deserted one-room schoolhouse called Belden. That discovery led her to find journals from the 1800s, artifacts, and 166 tales of a time long ago as told by the elderly students who once attended Belden School. Today, the story lives through Peter McDugal, the young hero of the Belden Boy Series.
