| Notes: | Beth Massey’s selection. There are signs of rebellion in the Emerson household before the actual American Revolution hits! Brought up in a relatively liberal household, 16-year-old Jemima Emerson is quite a challenge for her tutor, John Reid, who is known as a Tory with strong ties to England. How could Jem's parents be friends with a man who opposes American freedom? She longs for freedom on every level, in the home and her homeland — and John represents the forces that restrict her. The Emersons soon find themselves fighting for freedom in whatever ways they can. And Jem soon discovers that there is much more to Mr. Reid than she ever imagined. COMMENTS — Ann Rinaldi has written many novels for teens set during major historic events, such as A Break with Charity: A Story About the Salem Witch Trials. |
