When the British seize control of Long Island in 1776, the Townsend family is forced to play host to British troops, and teenaged Sally is torn between loyalty to the rebels and a handsome British colonel
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Teenager Sally Townsend is shocked and dismayed to learn that British soldiers have taken over her Long Island home, demanding that her family board them for the duration of the Revolutionary War. At first she is repulsed by the officers' rude behaviors, but later she finds herself attracted to the courtly Colonel Simcoe. Then she overhears important information and must choose whether or not to pass it along to her brother, Robert, a Patriot spy. Sweetzer does a good job of portraying the plight of colonists forced to host British troops and the resulting ambivalence that developed. Less convincing is the generally apolitical Sally's swift betrayal of Simcoe, without regard for the danger her actions cause him and her family. Still, short chapters and lots of action keep the plot moving and will make this popular with preteens who require romance with revolution. Kay Weisman
