A Slip of a Girl by Patricia Reilly Giff*

A novel in verse
The English lord is threatening to evict Anna and her family from their family home if they do not pay the rent.  Anna and her father are arrested for fighting back.  Anna manages to "slip" out of jail, pick up her mentally handicapped sister and travel to a grumpy aunt's house. 
Readers will be in awe of Anna's determination and courage as she fights for her home and family.
Based on the Drumlish Land Wars in 1881.
Irish words and places are defined/explained in the back.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
