The Prize: Tales From a Revolution - Vermont

YA-only-means-no-gratuitous-erotica, colonial-America, American-rev-war, Vermont, family-dynamics, friendship, historical-figures, historical-places-events, historical-research, historical-setting, history-and-culture***** I love this series as it brings the realities of the time to life in a very personal way. The publisher's blurb is a good hook and the story deserves better than a recap or spoilers. Despite our family's involvement in the military reenactments here in the Northwest Territory, I think that it is important to read about the things about civilian life as well as naval skirmishes that can't be brought to light any other way. I have come to trust the author's diligence in thoroughly researching the factual matters and appreciate the humanization of all of his remarkable characters. As this tale was told through the perspective of a teenaged boy, the narrator this time is Shamaan Casey who is very effective in his interpretations, and has a most compelling voice. Of course I loved it! I won this audio in a giveaway. Yay me!
