This review is from: Raid at Red Mill (Adventures in America) (Library Binding)

This book is part of the Adventures in America series. Fourteen-year-old Anne Mott's family has been able to avoid most of the trouble swirling around them throughout the American Revolution, but their luck may be running out. A vicious brigand, nominally supporting the British, is in the area, raiding farms that he considers disloyal. And when some family friends are followed back from a secret (and illegal) trading trip to New York City, Anne knows that the brigand is sure to come as punishment. Keeping a cool head, Anne draws courage and resolve from her Quaker faith, and prepares to meet the trouble.

This is a simply fantastic book! Author Mary McGahan is to be congratulated on writing a book that is both gripping and uplifting. I loved the way that the main character drew on her faith in a time of trouble. This is a book that is a great work of historical fiction, and a great book about faith, one that I was more than happy to give to my twelve-year-old daughter. She loved this book, and so do I.
