The Wish Giver by Bill Brittain

Andre Norton is best known for her science fiction and fantasy novels. However, she was a woman of many interests and in her Rebel series her considerable writing skills are on full display as she brings the story of Drew Rennie to life. In the first book of this duology Ride Proud, Rebel Drew is a fifteen year old boy who joins the confederate army to defend his home and ideals. He fights this losing battle with honor and courage and is, in part, a symbol of the entire Confederacy. In the second book Rebel Spurs the Confederacy has been defeated. During the war, Drew who grew up an orphan, discovers that his father might still be alive. To find his father he sets off on an adventure that is even more dangerous than anything he faced in the Civil War.
Brittain, Bill: -

Bill Brittain's tales of the rural New England village of Coven Tree are well loved by children of all ages. The Wish Giver was a Newbery Honor Book; it and Devil's Donkey were both named ALA Notabled Children's Books as well as School Library Journal Best Books. Dr. Dredd's Wagon of Wonders was a 1988 Children's Editors' Choice (ALA Booklist), and Professor Popkin's Prodigious Polish was named a Pick of the Lists by American Bookseller.

Mr. Brittain has written many other delightful books, which have also received high acclaim. Among these are All the Money in the World, which won the Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award and which has been adapted for an ABC-TV Saturday Special; and The Fantastic Freshman, which was named an ALA Recommended Book for Reluctant Young Adult Readers.

Bill Brittain lives with his wife, Ginny, in Asheville, North Carolina.
