About the Author
P.J. HarteNaus is just an ordinary teacher who lives in a small town in the Midwest. She teaches fifth grade at Abraham Lincoln School and enjoys reading novels, especially historical fiction to her students. Having two daughters, two dogs and a rabbit keep her busy, but she still finds time to enjoy exploring the unglaciated area of Galena, the Northwest corner of Illinois. On one of those explorations, she came upon a deserted one room school house called Belden. That find led to numerous discoveries such as old journals and artifacts, names of students and many anecdotal conversations with those who knew about the old school. Belden Boy- the adventures of Peter McDugal was born from that discovery. The rest is history!

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Belden Boy: #NAME? (Paperback)
This book was probably the most heart-filled book I've ever read. Belden Boy is a book about loyalty and friendship. Also, if we work together, we can form one community. I really enjoyed this book because the storyline hooked me. There were illustrations that were beautiful and the photographs really made Belden school come alive. I think that all boys and girls in elementary school would love this book. I would definitely recommend it.
