RATING:2 Thumbs Up!
REVIEW:
I really enjoyed this historical fiction book! I think kids would love to read the story of this brave young boy who had to step up to the plate and save his family from the invading Indians. The story takes place during the French and Indian War. Edward is the main character and is only ten years old but must act as the man of the house to keep his family safe while his father is out fighting the enemy in a militia. Edwards mother teaches him how to use the matchlock gun given to them by his grandfather. One night, Edwards courage is put to the test when the mother sees Indians approaching their home to destroy it. She runs to tell Edward to get the gun but on her way she is injured. But Edward is still able to get the gun in time to save his mother! It is an awesome story and the illustrations are beautiful!
