Summary: Major Event in History From a Teen's Point of View
Review: This book is a wonderful book. Not all events are real, but a lot of facts are included, especially in the epilogue, about the Raid. This book really got me interested in John Brown and how he helped get the Civil War in motion. Ann Rinaldi really put a twist on things having their neighbor at Kenedy Farm be a mind-reader/psychic.It's really a great book. If you haven't already read it, I recommend doing so. ^_^

Summary: Wow.
Review: This book is about Annie Brown going with her sister-and-law to Harper's Ferry and taking care of the men her father gathered. It's a great book, but you have to be ready to cry. I don't see how anyone can not like it

Review: This book is based on the true story of John Brown and the Harpers Ferry raid in 1859. The book is about Annie Brown, John Browns daughter,and her experiance at the Kennedy Farm.The book tells of her emiotional struggle as she had to watched her family and friends plan to end their lives. This book drew me in one chapter at a time. Now that I am done I find myself wanting to know more about that summer at the Kennedy Farm.

Summary: ONE OF MY VERY (etc) FAVORITES!
Review: This book was a definate GRABBER. Who couldn't love it? Beats me! I learned a whole lot. Well, you probably want to hear the story now, so here it goes: Annie Brown has been called by her father (the famous John Brown) to be the "watchdog" of his little hideout. The deal is, he is planning this raid at Harper's Ferry, to show his views on slavery. So, he is housing about 20 or so men in this house, and Annie is assigned to watch on the porch to see if anyone comes by and finds out. Well, that dreadful raid holds a sadness down on Annie: it threatens to seperate her and her love/fiance, Dauphin Thompson. So, it's really sad. Especially when you hear about the raid results. You are practically depressed yourself when you find out about what happens to Annie's fiance, brothers, and simply the men she grew attached to at the cabin. It's SO sad! Well, that is what makes it even more worth reading. I guarrantee you'll love this, so read it!

Summary: A story that will make you think
Review: This book was about Annie Brown, the daughter of John Brown, who was involved in the Harpers Ferry uprising in 1860.Annie's story is told with a tenderness that makes your heart break at the end, but that also makes you laugh. As Annie watches her father, brothers and 'lover' go into certain death, she also learns about her family and how it became the way it was.Truly an amazing coming of age story
