Customer Reviews

Excellent

The book arrived in a timely fashion and in excellent condition, as stated. I would use this seller again.

Have fun learning about the Revolutionary War!

My daughter and I really liked this book because the main character, Samantha(Sam)Byrd, is an adventurous girl who loves the outdoors and wears boys clothes more often than dresses. The story has lots of action from the very beginning and it moves quickly to tell the story of how Sam, her brothers, and cousin become involved in the American Revolution in Virginia. My daughter is 8 1/2 years old and related to Sam's adventure because it showed that girls could have exciting experiences and show courage and strength. Because of this book, our family recently went to Lexington and Concord to learn more about the revolution!
