I am searching for an old children\u2019s book that was read to our 6th grade class back in the mid 60\u2019s.<\/p>\n
I am not certain of the title of the book, but I thought it had the word \u201cIncredible\u201d in it.<\/p>\n
Other details, not certain about them:<\/p>\n
I seem to think the author\u2019s name was S.E. Stevenson. I can picture the book on the shelf in the school library, and it was near the end of the fiction section. The cover was red, white and blue, with simple graphics. I think there were birds flying along the ocean shore.<\/p>\n
The story was about a brother and sister, Benji and Betsy? \u2013 who were sent to work in a mill after their parents died.<\/p>\n
The story took place in either England or New England, I remember British terms used.<\/p>\n
There was a mean foreman at the mill, who was very harsh with the workers, but was semi-friendly to Betsy<\/p>\n
I thought the book won either a Caldicott or Newberry award, but I checked the lists and didn\u2019t seem to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
