This was another book club read. While its categorically YA, the book covers some pretty heavy topics and themes throughout Samuel’s journey to save his parents.
The revolution through the eyes of a child is so interesting because it brings up how quickly these kids were forced to grow up, especially on the frontier. Samuel was essentially providing for both of his parents, which in turn saves his life multiple times while trying to find his parents after they were kidnapped.
The story was quick paced and easy to read, just probably not something I would have picked up for myself.
