(4) 4-6 In late-eighteenth-century Spanish Florida, colonial slaves who will help fight the English are promised freedom. Longing to join the militia, thirteen-year-old Jem resents his caregiver, sharp-tongued Phaedra, who helped enable his escape but now babies him. Some of the subplots are neglected, but the relationship between Jem and Phaedra is believable and the unique historical setting is nicely drawn. Bib.
