Synopsis

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?

This book seemed to be trying to push our feelings back into another time and place. The story was good with Sam (Samantha) being the main character and the narrator. I felt the ending was a little to pat with an almost fairy tale quality to it, but enjoyed reading this book anyway.......more
