review 1: Elizabeths from different eras share traits like klutziness and an inquisitiveness about the world around them.. Each Elizabeth has her challenge - the one from the present has some family ans abandonment issues while the Elizabeth from the past has the Revolutionary War disrupting her family. The alternating voices in the chapters works well in giving the girls worlds authenticity. The Battle of Fort Stanwix is described in an immediate an vivid manner. Solid historical fiction.
review 2: As I read this I kept thinking how nicely it would pair with Gary Paulsen's Woodsrunner. Although I didn't love the alternating chapters, I did think it served as a way to get kids to read the main story and the use of the drawing (particularly at the end) was touching. I t... morehink the description of the battle was realistic, but not gratuitously violent and I enjoyed that. They both might make quick read-aloud or lit share books for 5th or 6th graders studying the Revolutionary War. less
