More About This Book

Overview

The Revolutionary War is raging. Food and firewood are scarce, and Tempe Wick is worried that she will not be able to care for her ailing mother and her family and still maintain the farm. Her ability to hold on to her world is threatened when a mutinous soldier demands that she lend him her beloved horse in exchange for keeping her brother’s rum-smuggling activities secret from the authorities. This dramatic historical novel is based on a real event that has been popularized into American legend.

    Beautifully Written!

    Putting this book down was impossible. Rinaldi uses great descriptions and she draws the characters so well. Her research of the mysterious Tempe Wick was amazing and seeing her point of view from someone else was brilliant. I recommend this to anyone who has ever had a dream.

    Imagine You Are There

    The narrator, Mary Cooper, is staying with her cousin, Tempe Wick, and her Aunt Mary during the Revolutionary War. They are Patriot, and Mary's family is Tory. They sent her to live with the Wicks during the war. Tempe has a short temper, and is always arguing with Mary. General Wayne's army is camped on the Wick farm. Before Tempe's father died a few days before the story begins, he did as much as he could to help the army. Tempe never approved and believes it killed him. Tempe has a favorite horse named Colonel, and he plays a big role in the story. He is the most beautiful and fastest horse in the area, and Tempe rides him every day. There are many rumors in camp about mutiny. Billy Bowzar from the 11th Regiment, who also has an important role, insists they are only writing down their grievances to present to Wayne. Mary overhears a conversation between Tempe and Bowzar one night. He wanted to borrow Colonel to ride on when they presented their grievances. Tempe has to decide whether to take part or to stay out of the war.

    Imagine yourself in the Revolutionary War

    Mary Cooper is a cousin of Tempe Wick who lives on a farm in New Jersey. Mary moves in with Tempe¿s family during the Revolutionary War. Tempe is older than Mary and seems to not like Mary but Mary really tries to get along with her. This book is mainly about the life in the winter of 1781. Soldiers are living on the Wick¿s farm and many happy and unhappy events are going on all at once. The book starts out with a great opening; it gets you right into the time period. The images were so descriptive like ¿In my blue ¿and-white striped harvestsack, I had two chicken legs rapped in napkins, this morning¿s bread generously spread with freshly churned butter, and two large pieces of gingerbread.¿ From the beginning, you can tell that there will be a conflict between Tempe and Mary. I think they just don¿t understand each other. Tempe has the most responsibility of the house because her mother is old and almost depressed due to the death of her husband. Tempe is the only child left of her brothers and sisters. One of her brothers, Henry, had left the house and was never accepted into the family again. For a long period of time he was living in the barn with the animals. He slept where they stored the hay. Will Henry ever be accepted? In order to attempt to understand this story I made connections to myself. In fourth grade we took a trip to Morristown to visit Tempe Wick¿s house and the Ford Mansion. Looking back at this trip, I tried to connect the descriptions in this book to what I saw on the field trip. At one point in this book, Mary takes a ride to the Ford Mansion to drop off a letter to send to her brother. The images become more vivid as I look back on that field trip. This book was confusing and at some points just flat out boring I still had to find a strategy to help me understand this book a little bit better than if I just read it with no strategy. A good strategy I found was to try and put myself in the character¿s shoes. In certain points of the book, if I closed my eyes after reading a passage I could just imagine what the life was like. Also, if I asked questions I could look back and see if what I was wondering was answered. If I didn¿t use strategies while reading this book, it would have been like I was reading just words and I would not have gotten it at all.

    Great book!

    This book is great! I never heard of a Tempe Wick or her story until a friend gave me this book. Ann Rinaldi is great at writing historical fiction. All her books tell more then just history. All girls should read this book; I think you'll find it interesting.

    I loved it!

    I have to say, i loved this book!!!!!! I was waiting to see what happens at the end of every page. It was fun reading this book, and, for those who might be turned off because of the whole history thing, Read it. It's so much more than history.

    A face on history

    I found This book was swiftly written. It had many iteresting dynamics. When most people think of history the common thought is of a text book shoved down your throat by a theacher. After reading rinaldi's work you will insted think of people. Ordinary people like Tempe and mary. It also portrays an unusual angle of the revalution. Although its not her best book, it shows how one persons actions can change the lives of others.

    OUTSTANDING!

    This book was great. It had a great plot, well developed characters, and it wasn't a thrill a minute book, but it was very involved and interesting. I really suggest reading this book.

    I really like this book

    At first I thought it was very boring but then it got much better in the middle. I felt very emotional when reading the book. I never knew I would be into historic book but I guess there is a beginning for everything.
