Betrayal at Cross Creek

(3) 4-6 History Mysteries series. Twelve-year-old Elspeth lives in 1775 North Carolina with her Scottish immigrant grandparents. Times are tense: local Patriots try to strong-arm Elspeth's grandfather into joining their cause, but he and the other MacKinnons join the Loyalists.
