Love Thy Neighbor: The Tory Diary of Prudence Emerson

190 pp. | Scholastic | April, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-439-15308-5 $$10.95
(4) 4-6 Dear America series. Set in western Massachusetts in 1774, this story in diary form chronicles the persecution of British Loyalists. Level-headed and compassionate thirteen-year-old Prudence recounts the hardships Tories face. Subplots, such as Prudence apprenticing her midwife mother, don't have a chance to flourish, but readers will still enjoy the story and its details of daily life. A historical note and illustrations are appended.
