Customer Reviews

Not a Favorite.

This book is okay but I much rather would have read about Mary Cooper's life before she came to live with her awful cousin and aunt. She seemed like more of an interesting person and a staunch Patriot than her stuck-up cousin.

WOW! DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS 1!

This is one of the BEST Rinaldi books I've ever read! It's about fourteen year-old Mary Cooper. She goes to live with her cousin Tempe Wick, who despises her more than anything. Throught the book, you learn of Mary's life with her cousin, up until the point when the "mutiny raid" occurs. Mary witnesses the frightening scene, as well as helps Tempe save her beautiful horse, Colonel, from Billy Bowzar. I loved this book SO MUCH! If anyone passes this book by, they'll be missing out! It's filled with suspense, adventure, and a little bit of romance! The PERFECT BOOK! Great job Ann!

Thrilling, exciting, and interesting

Ann Rinaldi has done it once again! This book was completely breathtaking. I couldn't put it down once I got into the plot. There's Ann Rinaldi's chracteristics in this book : History and romance combined.

the bomb

Yeah Ann Rinaldi. Congratulations on another fine novel

I think the book was very good overall.

I think the book was really good...it portrayed the characters in a different type of light. My personal perspective was that it was very well written...It is seldom that someone can describe and tell without making us all snooze in our seats. This is also a good book to read in class, because there is much to discuss. There is more to the story than you see by reading it. You must think about the whole plot and relate to the character. So, this is a definite must read!
