Ribbey Join the Youngs as they adapt to life in the South; experience the battles of Camden, King’s Mountain, & more; suffer the betrayal of their beloved General Benedict Arnold; and expand their family all in the 6th year of the Revolutionary War! “It’s 1780 and the war in the North has ground to a halt. Captain Davis and I are traveling south with my family to join the fight against Lord Cornwallis. General Gates has been dispatched by Washington to retake Georgia and the Carolinas and, if successful, bring the war to an end. “It will be a clash of titans. General Cornwallis has never been defeated, and General Gates was the victor at Saratoga. Only God knows who will prove to be the better. The Continental soldiers jest as though they’re confident of victory, but it does little to mask their true apprehension. “My own stomach churns with nerves as our wagon rolls into new lands brimming with creatures and plants we’ve never beheld. A brand-new world of intrigue, that apart from the war, I fear I would never know. Only the Good Lord knows what challenges and adventures lay ahead for all of us. “My life is never dull so long as Theo and Tobias are around; their rivalry would make any girl blush. Theo’s latest attack was to hide his owl pellets in Tobias’s shoes, which is hilariously savage, though Tobias doesn’t seem to think so.”  ~ Mercy Young Historically accurate fiction is one of the best ways to teach students about our amazing history and we’re proud to join authors such as Joe Giorello (Great Battles for Boys), Lauren Tarshis (I Survived), and Esther Forbes (Johnny Tremain) in this important endeavor.
