Summary:
Katie's parents were sympathetic toward the crown of England in a time when that was not the popular thing to do.  Enduring teasing at school, Katie worries with her parents at home, then the house is raided.  I will not give away the ending but I will say that character is not defined by political leanings and this is a story about character as it is about the Revolutionary War.  Illustrated by Ronald Himler.
