A Rebel Among Redcoats

- Reading
- As you read, pause at the contrast between Maggie’s plans for her future and the demands of wartime. Invite the reader to notice what choices she has, without assuming the story’s outcome.
- Themes
- Divided loyalties: Maggie wants to help the American cause while living with an aunt described as a loyalist. The premise sets up a contrast between Maggie’s patriot sympathies and her aunt’s loyalism, but does not show how the novel treats either position.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes wartime upheaval and a father taken prisoner. The outline also promises action and drama, but does not specify how intense or detailed these scenes are.
