Still wonderful after 20 years

I first read this book when I was in the fifth grade, over twenty years ago, and it was an amazing treasure. The characters, particularly Deborah Sampson, rang true. This novel, based on an actual event in history, is a great inspiration to women and young girls everywhere, as well as an authentic glimpse into the Colonial War. I just finished reading I'm Deborah Sampson (in one night) and was excited to find it was just as lovely, passionate, heartbreaking, exciting, and inspiring as it was when I was ten.

Wonderful

My book was I'm Deborah Sampson. I liked this book alot. I liked this book because it taught me that everyone is equal. I learned from this book that no matter what, life goes on. There are alot of tough times in life that you just have to think it through and do what is right. This is one of my favorite books.
