The Secret of Sarah Revere was surprisingly good. I’m not a huge historical fiction fan and I’ve found a lot of young adult historical fiction to be over-simplified BS – just more of the same stuff kids are hand fed in school history classes. Now my appreciation of this book might have something to do with my appreciation for Paul Revere – not the mythical hero from “one if by land, two if by sea” fame but the real man who did an awful lot more for the cause than just that one midnight ride.
I also found the author’s note to be interesting though the reader’s discussion questions were a bit bland. There’s a list of other YA historical fiction in the back of the book, I’m hoping some of those are just as interesting as this one was.
