The Young kids are back in the second year of the Revolutionary War but instead of the war coming to them, they hit the road and join the caravan of wives and children following the Continental Army.
It’s 1776 and they’re back. The king’s redcoats have landed on Staten Island, the harbor is so full of British frigates it looks as if all London must be afloat. The breathtaking spectacle has shaken the resolve of some, the victories at Boston a distant memory now as we prepare to confront the full weight of the king’s fury.
Henry, my beloved adopted father has joined the Continentals, but he won’t be fighting alone. We’re a family, and families fight together.
No matter what challenges lay ahead, we will endure them together, and perhaps, if we endure, so will freedom.
Mercy Young, 13 years old
In Defiant Retreat, you'll read about the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the battles at New York, the devastating winter that almost ended the war, and the battle of Trenton that finally turned the tide. Defiant Retreat also includes full transcripts of The Declaration of Independence and The American Crisis, along with a glossary of uncommon and difficult words.
Historically accurate fiction is one of the best ways to teach students about our amazing history and we’re proud to join authors such as Joe Giorello (Great Battles for Boys), Lauren Tarshis (I Survived), and Esther Forbes (Johnny Tremain) in this important endeavor. From gritty battles to the daily struggle for survival, to comical adventures in the woods, your family will live it all along with the Young siblings! Click on Buy Now to start the adventure!
