An Eye for an Eye: A Story of the Revolutionary War – A teenage girl questions her principles after her brother is captured during the Revolutionary War
Fourteen-year-old Samantha Byrd is an excellent shot—she’s even better than her brother at providing food for her family. Although the winds of war are blowing in Virginia, she knows that she could only ever use her skill for hunting—not for hurting another person.
When the Revolutionary War finally begins, her brother is captured, and Samantha sets off to rescue him. But when she comes face to face with the enemy, will she still stand by her principles, or will she pull the trigger?
Grace’s Letter to Lincoln – Grace’s brother and family are part of the Wide-Awake movement, working to elect Abraham Lincoln. But Grace has to stay at home to help with chores, and never gets to be a part of the plans. She longs to make a difference but she can’t figure out how, until she comes up with a very original way to make Mr. Lincoln more popular. She writes a letter to the soon-to-be president, telling him that he would be much more popular if he would only grow whiskers. This unusual letter inevitably leads to a change in Mr. Lincoln’s appearance, and to the touching historic encounter between this bold little girl and the President.
I, Columbus: My Journal, 1492–1493 – Christopher Columbus had a dream—to reach the fabled lands of the East, rich with spices, jewels, silver, and especially gold. Having studied the travels of other explorers, Columbus was convinced he could reach his destination by traveling west across the seas. After convincing Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand to fund his expedition, he set sail in August of 1492.
In this account, the voyage Columbus undertook is told in his own voice through his journal entries of that year. He tells of excitement, drama, and terror on the high seas, as well as the doubts he faces from his own crew, as together, they weather the path to victory.
