Awesome submitted by Motomori on July 12, 2013, 11:29am Awesome book. A great read for all ages.

Winter of Red Snow submitted by yaldah on June 16, 2014, 4:35pm This is a great book, based off of real events. It is a fictional diary by eleven year old Abigail Stewart at the time of the Revolutionary War. It tells about her family life as well as events in the wider world at that time. I would recommend this book to anyone, however you should be aware that it is not all happy - there are deaths, and, well, it is set in a war time.
This book is well written, a great story, and educational. While I am normally not that into history, I loved this book, and it really got me interested in that time period. So trust me, you should read this whether or not you are particularly interested int eh Revolutionary War - even if it doesn't get you interested, it is still a great book for its own sake.
I would also advice reading the sequel - Cannons at Dawn, the Second Diary of Abigail Jane Stewart. Enjoy!

Great book, great series submitted by amandasaurus on June 15, 2022, 11:06pm This was my favorite series of books in elementary school. Enough historical basis to satisfy my curiosity and need to study but enough excitement and fantasy to keep me entertained. Highly recommend!
