A Home in the Storm

When a threatening delivery arrives at the kitchen door, Anne Baker's life turns upside down. She and her family bury their valuables and leave their home to go to Boston where they will be safe. But Boston is far from safe when there's a war going on. Redcoats and Rebels are shooting at each other across the harbor, horses are parading in church, and Anne's neighbor is arrested as a spy. Anne's brother Daniel, who always shared adventures with her, has left home and joined the rebels. Papa will no longer speak his name, but Anne is determined to be with him again. What will she do when Papa wants the family to sail away with the British army to Canada?Written to engage children in grades 4 through 6, this book can be a framework for a study of the Revolutionary War. Free teacher resources including maps, primary source accounts, discussion questions, and explanations of historical references are available on the author's Web site, ahomeinthestorm.com
