I loved this exciting historical novel! It is based on the true story of Susanna Bolling, a 14 year old girl, whose courage and determination influenced the course of the Revolutionary War. This book held my attention from beginning to end. Couldn't put it down!
-Cathy McCormack
In this exciting and page turning tale, McNamee shares the true tale of Susanna Bolling and her contribution to the American revolution. With constant action and rich vocabulary, this story keeps the reader engaged while sharing some of the lesser known or discussed elements of our history. This would make a great class read aloud to discuss alongside the history we teach of this time period.
