I've had this one for ages but realized I had never registered it... From Amazon:

From the author of Ender’s Game, an unforgettable story about young Alvin Maker: the seventh son of a seventh son. Born into an alternative frontier America where life is hard and folk magic is real, Alvin is gifted with the power. He must learn to use his gift wisely. But dark forces are arrayed against Alvin, and only a young girl with second sight can protect him.

This was a wonderful little book! I'll have to look for more in the series. It ends fairly abruptly, leaving the reader wanting more of Alvin and his family...
