Changes for Felicity: A Winter Story by: Valerie Tripp
Fiction: History, Children's, 88 pages
Note: My effort to read the main American Girl books in chronological order of the stories timeline, has been slightly messed up as the 5th book in the series isn't available in the library. In this book Felicity's friend's dad was jailed for being a loyalist. Grandfather help get him out, but as he was sick, it made his sickness worst and he died.
