The Reb and the redcoats

This was an interesting take on the Revolutionary War story! It had been so long since I read the synopsis that I somehow forgot about it being set in Britain. I opened the cover, expecting a average sort of American tale. Nope! It's the story of a young man taken prisoner by the British and held in a private home by a private gentleman who had been invalided home from a military assignment. The gentleman's nieces and nephews come on a visit and curiosity leads to friendship, and they become the Redcoats.

This is excellent middle grade to high school historical fiction that is well written and interesting to many ages.
