Description:Caroline
Abbott is doing what she loves most--sailing on Lake Ontario with
Papa--when her world turns upside down. A British officer boards their
sloop, announces that Britain and America are once again at war, and
takes her father prisoner. As Papa is led away, Caroline promises him
that she will be brave until he returns. Then the British attack her
village, and it looks as if the Americans are in trouble. Can she stay
steady enough to help win the day? The illustrated "Looking Back"
section explores the beginning of the War of 1812.
