Sixteen year old Sybil Luddington and her family are colonists
in the American colonies. Many of the colonists want to rebel against British control, and Sybils family is a part
of that, putting them in danger. When the alarm is called, Sybil has to step up
to help her family and her country.
Unlike the rest of the series, this book sort of just jumped
right into some heavy politics and plot with little explanation. I was confused for the first quarter of the
book and I think it would off putting enough for elementary readers to set this
book aside, but middle schoolers might persist. There was a possible attack
from a man at night, which sort of borders the line of inappropriate for
elementary. My least favorite in the series. This series is actually written each by different authors, after reading I noticed this was an author whose style I have disliked in the past, which makes sense. The rest of the series is great!
