![]() The summer starts out well enough- Elsie’s Uncle Owen presents her with a dog, something she has always wanted. Elsie Mae is determined to do something about this, and fervently hopes that her letter will reach President Roosevelt’s desk. As the story begins, Elsie Mae is mailing a letter to the White House because she has heard about a canal project that would cut right through her beloved swamp. The swamp is very dear to her heart not only do her grandparents and uncles live there, but Elsie has spent the last several summers with her grandparents. This book takes us back to the 1930s, and we are immediately introduced to Elsie Mae, a young girl living near the Okefenokee Swamp. I was excited about the opportunity to read this book because we’ve read Cavanaugh’s last book- Just Like Me. Elsie Mae Has Something to Say is a middle grade novel written by Nancy J. ![]()
