There are many other things that happen in this book, but I'm not going to give everything away! These type of historical-like books are the kind that I enjoy to read. I love to read about history so this was the perfect book for me. When I would start reading-I just couldn't put it down! In my opinion, this is one of the best books I have ever read. So if you want to find oout what happens to Mercy Carter and the rest of Deerfield you will have to read it for yourself!

This book was awesome and I recommend it to everyone

I thought the book was great it really interested me and if you love Caroline B. Cooney like I do you will love this book. I consdider this book one of her best and I have read about all of them. Just in case you want to know a little something about this book, it takes place back when indians took white kids and held some of them for ransome. That is mainly what this book focuses on and how the kids are dealing with being taking form there homes, families, and survival. If you want to know more you just have to read the book.
