(4) 1-3 I Can Read Chapter Book series. This is the tale of a small town in Maryland that, according to legend, used trickery to defend itself against the British during the War of 1812. Unfortunately, fictional nine-year-old heroine Caroline is hard to believe: she can outrun all the boys in town, confronts the enemy while her friend Robert runs away, and save the flag in battle. Readers may enjoy the interesting historical anecdote and McCully's loose illustrations.
