VERY EXCITING STORY FOR TEENAGERS April 21, 2008
When I finished reading this book, I was sad that it was over! It was so good I didn't want it to end. The beginning is at first hard to read because it's sad, but by chapter two, I was completely hooked! It's very exciting and mysterious. It would make an excellent movie. It's about the relationship between a 14-year-old girl who loves horses, a Brittish 16-year-old girl named Meg, and two teen boys, who have many adventures together while helping the Patriot army. This book teaches history while at the same time you're actually enjoying reading it! I highly recommend this book to kids of all ages who love mystery, adventure, and of course horses! C age 13

Exciting historical fiction December 9, 2005

I have read this story with students average age 14. Their response was total involvement in the plot and the character, Hannah and her horse, Promise. They did not believe at first that the book would be interesting, since they thought it would be "ho hum" history. The cover illustration suggests it might be another Paul Revere Midnight Ride to Lexington and Concord. Wrong! The main historical event is the lesser known "Salem Alarm." The author weaves fascinating historical events into a plot that today's kids love. Not a bit boring! In fact, one student said, "It was like watching a movie in my head." Kids LOVED this story and rated it a 10/10. Did I forget to mention that I loved it, too?
