It is 1864. The Civil War is coming to an end, and Southern slaves are slowly gaining their freedom. But for 13-year-old Eulinda, a house slave on a plantation in Kentucky, it is the most difficult time of her life. Her yonger brother, falsely accused of stealing, has been sold. Then her older brother Neddy runs away. And Eulinda is left alone in a household headed by a cruel mistress—and a master who will not acknowledge that Eulinda is his daughter. With her trademark attention to detail and historical accuracy, Ann Rinaldi weaves a gripping tale of a girl caught between two worlds.

Numbering All the Bones
This book is the story of Eulinda, a house slave in the Big House of her father's plantation in Georgia, who struggles with trying to figure out who she during the final year of the Civil War .
If you are interested in reading a good story, than this book is definitely for you. It is a fast read (only 164 pages) so I was able to finish it in an afternoon. The characters seem very real and I can easily relate with Eulinda's struggle of not really belonging in any pre-made societal grouping (slave v. free, White v. Black, Union v. Confederate) even though I myself am privileged enough to not have to worry about such things during my lifetime.
However, as a Social Studies teacher, I wish there were more details given regarding the events that happened such as the prison at Andersonville and/or the work of Clara Barton. Instead of using this story as a way to learn about history, Rinaldi chose to use history as a backdrop for her story. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and like I've said before this is an excellent story, I just wish there were more Historical Fiction novels for Young Adults that aren't afraid to get messy and show things as they truly are instead of packaged in a nice, tidy box tied with a ribbon.
