- Synopsis
-
Rebecca can't wait to try the games and rides at Coney Island. After a dip in the sea, she and cousin Ana set off, full of giggles and excitement.
The one thing dampening the fun is Rebecca's big brother, Victor -- if only he would stop being so bossy! Fuming, Rebecca resolves to show Victor that girls can do anything boys can do. When Victor and Ana's brothers laugh at her, she and Ana decide to go off on their own.
But now Ana is missing, and Rebecca hears fire alarm bells clanging. If anything has happened to Ana, Rebecca will never forgive herself.
Rebecca to the Rescue is a children's book for children eight and up but adults can enjoy and learn something valuable from it as well. This book is the fifth book in the Rebecca's six-book series. Each story in the series reveals more about Rebecca, a lively Jewish girl, who grows up in 1914 in New York. The books in the Rebecca series include: Meet Rebecca, Rebecca and Ana, Candlelight for Rebecca, Rebecca and the Movies, Rebecca to the Rescue, and Changes for Rebecca. Every book of the series not only features a fictional, realistic story and illustrations, but also has a historical "Looking Back" section. In this "Looking Back" section, the author describes some of the historical characteristics of Rebecca's 1914 time period in a style which children can understand and adults can appreciate.
