(2) YA Samuel, thirteen, finds the survival skills he's learned in the deep forest put to new use when the Revolution reaches his family's western Pennsylvania homestead. The setting is far removed from those more frequently used for historical fiction about 1776, and Paulsen gets to deploy his talent for wilderness adventure. The narrative is interspersed with brief nonfiction sections that straightforwardly inform the story.
