5.0 out of 5 stars
An exciting historical mystery.,
This review is from: The Star-Spangled Secret (Paperback)
Thirteen-year-old Caroline Dorsey was devastated when her father and baby sister Rebecca died in a yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia. Unwilling to spend another summer in Philadelphia, Caroline's mother decided that she would take her two remaining children, Caroline and fourteen-year-old Charlie, and move to her father's Maryland plantation. But Charlie is determined to go to sea, and his mother doesn't have the will to refuse her son's greatest wish. Meanwhile, Caroline returns to boarding school in Philadelphia, where she receives a letter with news that Charlie has fallen off the deck of his ship and drowned. Caroline knows that can't be true. So she returns home, determined to discover the truth. I highly recommend this combination of history, mystery, suspense, and adventure.

teen book,

The book is a great resource when you are trying to show your students how to "hook" the reader so they want to read more.
