Description:From Kirkus Reviews: "North Carolina in the days just before the Revolution provides the setting for this placid but gaily crinolined tale for girls. Twelve-year-old Carolina is brought with her grandmother to live with her uncle's family in the town of New Bern, North Carolina. In spite of the new restrictions on freedom, Carolina finds much to occupy herself. There is the excitement of living in the midst of the first gestures of protest by the American patriots toward the Tory governor; a bound boy, Scottish Jamie, enlists her sympathies; and Ta, the cat whom she rescued from the sea, serves as an introduction to a beautiful, proud girl, living at the governor's mansion, who eventually claims Carolina for her best friend. Also Carolina is able to do her bit for the patriots by carrying an important message to a patriot group, which causes the removal of the Tory governor. The author has a casual, yet knowledgeable way with the period detail."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
