Product Description
Caroline Abbott is doing what she loves most--sailing on Lake Ontario with Papa--when her world turns upside down. A British officer boards their sloop, announces that Britain and America are once again at war, and takes her father prisoner. As Papa is led away, Caroline promises him that she will be brave until he returns. Then the British attack her village, and it looks as if the Americans are in trouble. Can she stay steady enough to help win the day? The illustrated "Looking Back" section explores the beginning of the War of 1812.
From the Author
In many ways
Meet Caroline was the most challenging of the Caroline books to write. After many weeks of research, and thinking, I was coming to know Caroline in my imagination. But how could I best present her to readers? How could I introduce her personality, her challenges, her big dreams? How could I best describe her setting? And how could I manage those things--and still tell an exciting story? After many drafts, I'm happy with the result. I hope you are as well!
