Riveting!

I read this book to my children (7 & 9) and they wouldn't let me put it down. Absolutely riveting! Ms. Crook is an eloquent author who manages to pull you right into the story. She is a Canadian, with an avid interest in the history of the United Empire Loyalists, which adds an interesting dimension to her writing.
