During the Revolutionary War, formerly meek Phoebe finds her mettle while crossing wilderness Vermont to deliver a spy's report, joining a group of loyalist refugees--including handsome Jem Morrissay--on their way to Canada. Readers willing to allow Lunn's unlikely developments (e.g., a cat named George and an orphan bear cub decide to follow Phoebe to Canada) will enjoy this colonial action-adventure.
