Book Overview
Eliza Carter loves working for her father during the summer holidays. She drives her own team of horses, led by her special Conestoga horse, Clipper, hauling heavy wagons full of grain.

Suddenly she finds herself examining her beliefs and loyalties. Where will she stand when national resentment boils over into revolution? And will she come to her brother's rescue when he needs her?

Kids know best in this historical fiction
Published by Nicole , 5 years ago
I was looking for historical fiction around the American Revolution. This book had some good descriptions but I was unimpressed with the relationships of the book. As typical for books written after a certain date, the kids know best and they teach the parents. Also, the heroine is a tween girl who has the responsibility of making deliveries on horseback in colonial America by herself...not something that I think would have happened then or would be safe. As an adult, this is not what I want my kids to read regardless of the historical setting.
