By Janice Abel

Summer 1945, Wolf Creek, Iowa: Eleven year old Jen has a dream to play a trumpet but times are hard. It is wartime. Everyone is doing something for the war, everyone except her. Trying to understand a war a world away yet holding to her dream she finds herself in a tangle of friendships, and unexpected prejudice. Dad says "no" to the trumpet. Mom say "maybe." But when Danny teases, "Girls can't play the trumpet," meek and mild Jen turns downright spunky. Walk with Jen and her friends through her war torn troubles. When a Wolf Creek soldier is killed in the war, Jen finally has an idea of how to help in the war effort. But will it work? Who will help her? It is a summer Jen will never forget. And that is what she wants to tell you about.From Iowa author, Janice Abel- "Brass Notes Over Wolf Creek is my salute to childhood and community life in rural America."
