Book #1: The Innocent Rebel

My name is Mercy Young, I’m 12 years old, and up until a couple days ago, my life has been pretty uneventful. But it’s 1775 and I live in Lexington, which apparently God Almighty has deemed fit to be the birthplace of a revolution!

My papa was one of the men from town who went to confront the Red Coats (British Soldiers), who marched onto our town green and demanded that we submit ourselves to their rule. There was a terrible battle and papa was taken captive.

My mama passed away a few years ago, and with no one else to look after us, my brothers and I have decided that the only sensible thing to do is set off to Boston and fetch papa back. We don’t know what lies ahead, and this awful war has only just begun, but if I was captured and alone, I’d want to know someone was coming for me.

Even as the cannons drum in the distance, I feel a mixture of fear and excitement at the adventure that awaits us. Slipping out into the cool April night, I can feel it – there’s no turning back now.

Book #2: Defiant Retreat 

In Defiant Retreat, you'll read about the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the battles at New York, the devastating winter that almost ended the war, and the battle of Trenton that finally turned the tide. Defiant Retreat also includes full transcripts of The Declaration of Independence and The American Crisis, along with a glossary of uncommon and difficult words.

Book #3: Under the Wing of the Storm

In Under the Wing of the Storm, you’ll learn about the battle of Saratoga, the daring acts of General Benedict Arnold, the British capture of Philadelphia, and freedom’s miraculous stand during the most difficult year of the American Revolutionary War.

Book #4: Deceptive Victory

Join the Young siblings as they navigate life through the 4th year of the Revolutionary War with its adventures, joys, and trials. Experience the Battle of Monmouth and the long-awaited retreat of the British army.

Historically accurate fiction is one of the best ways to teach students about our amazing history and we’re proud to join authors such as Joe Giorello (Great Battles for Boys), Lauren Tarshis (I Survived), and Esther Forbes (Johnny Tremain) in this important endeavor. From gritty battles to the daily struggle for survival, to comical adventures in the woods, your family will live it all along with the Young siblings!
