<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An acclaimed author gives young readers a new perspective on the American Revolution in this thoughtful picture book. Katie, a child of Loyalists, is frightened by all the talk of independence that is igniting passions in her New England town. Then one day, when Patriot neighbors ransack her home, Katie finds that her very survival rests in the hands of the "enemies". Full color. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Based on a true incident that happened to one of the author's ancestors, <i>Katie's Trunk</i> gives an unusual and arresting glimpse of the beginnings of the American Revolution. </b> <p/>Katie could feel it in the air--something was wrong. Neighbors didn't speak to each other anymore, and someone even hissed "Tory!" at her. All around Katie, men were arming themselves for war. Then one day it happened--the rebels came! Katie's father told the family to hide in the woods. At first Katie obeyed, but as she crouched in the underbrush she got mad and ran back to defend her home. It wasn't right for people to treat one another this way. But what could one little girl do about it?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ann Turner is an award-winning screenwriter and director, avid reader, and history lover.
