The Corn Grows Ripe by Dorothy Rhoads
I can see why this book is a Newberry Honor book. It had a great plot and a rich vocabulary. The only draw back for me was that the setting wasn't during the time period we were studying. The only tie-ins with our studies was the grandmother's recollections and their belief system. I'm glad we added it though as it was a great reader for my 8 year old son.
