What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[A] novel that challenges [young readers’] ideas of American history and their notions of loyalty and patriotism.” (Alan Gratz) – New York Times Book Review
“A fascinating, complex and rarely seen view of the -American Revolutionary War.” – School Library Journal (starred review)
“With his trademark eye for detail, Avi brings readers into the story’s time and place, not sparing the realities of war, and dealing authentically with Noah’s emotions. Inclusive and objective, the work delivers historical food for thought and a great read.” – Booklist
“Avi’s narrative, told through dated entries, ebbs and flows with the tides of war, gaining intensity as the Battles of Lexington and Concord loom. The story is spiked with lively dialogue.” – Horn Book Magazine
