(4) 4-6 Young Americans series. Although his father endorses a more moderate relationship between the colonies and Great Britain, eleven-year-old John finds himself supporting his older brother's more revolutionary stance. Loosely based on the experiences of a real family in Colonial Williamsburg, the story is fast paced, but the dialogue often strains to include background material. An afterword places the story in historical context.
