I have always loved historical fiction and Ann Rinaldi writes great YA level books in this genre. I find that she writes books that pretty accurate factually and that also have great characters who I am interested in learning how they live in the time period they exist in. ( ) Well researched, this is an account of the law, politics and society in Boston in the lead up to the "massacre" that took place shortly before the outbreak of the American War of Independence, telling the story through the eyes of a young girl, an indentured servant to John Adams. The book though has significant drawbacks: there are long passages throughout the novel devoted to lead character's emotions as part of her growth into adulthood. These don't seem very realistic, and get in the way of what would otherwise have been an interesting book. I thought this was a really great love story set in such a horrible time. THe characters are young and very relatable. The story involves everything from the horrors of war to loyalty and love. I thought it was a great read and even though it has its love story I think young male readers would still enjoy it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
