A children's historical novel, about a French orphan who becomes a "bound-out" girl to a pioneer family in Northern Maine in 1743. Besides the hardships of being a servant in a harsh location where Indians and the weather are constant threats, Marguerite has to endure being called "Maggie," and conceal her Catholic religion from the staunchly anti-Papist community. A Newbery Honor winner. Reading level, 5th grade up.
