Children's historical fiction, ages 9-12.
When Hannah Atwater's father goes marching off with the Minute
Men in the spring of 1775, his last words to her are, "Remember,
little daughter, when I come home, you're going to read the Bible
to me."
As if poor Hannah doesn't have enough to worry about, including
war, the danger of smallpox, and storing enough food and firewood
to last the Atwater family through the harsh New England winters,
there's also school. She just can't manage to learn to read under
the severe gaze of Master Hawkes, who whips naughty pupils at the
least provocation.
But worst of all are the rumors that soon arise about the
terrifying Hessians, soldiers hired by the king of England to fight
the American patriot army. The Hessians, the older children tell
her, are eight feet tall, have two sets of teeth, eat boys and
girls for dinner, and are coming to find her. And when a procession
of Hessian prisoners passes through their own village, Hannah's
greatest fear seems to be coming true--or does it?
"Little Hannah in this story will appeal to modern nine and
ten-year-olds as much as a little girl of today, although she was
young when the Minute Men were called to fight the Redcoats and
George Washington was struggling to hold his own against the
British. . . . Well told, pleasantly illustrated and easy to read,
this gives a genuine picture of life in the hard years, 1775-1777,
a fine approach to history." --The New York Herald-Tribune
(1958)
"An unusual insight into the mentality of a little girl and an
unoppressive historical context recommend this tender story of a
child's role in a crucial period of American history." --Kirkus
