This is the fourth book in the series "The House of Winslow" by Gilbert Morris, and is so far my favorite.
Julie Sampson has an uncle who pays her too much attention. She decided to disguise herself as a boy and find work somewhere else. While in Boston, she gets saved from freezing to death by Nathan Winslow who is there with his brother to learn about the family fur trading business. Through a turn of several events, Nathan and Laddie (Julie) end up in the Continental Army serving under General George Washington.
How much longer can Julie keep her secret?
As I said, this is so far my favorite in the series, Julie is a very brave young girl who did what not many girls would have done. I think its vaguely based off of Debora Sampson, and other like her who risked everything to help fight for their country. I would say that thirteen is a good age to read this book.
I hope you enjoy.
