Bookroo's summary
Caroline, fishing on Lake Ontario, spots a British warship poised to seize an American boat. With her father's words of bravery echoing in her mind, she faces a split-second decision that could change everything. As she grapples with her father's absence, a startling discovery at their cherished fishing spot adds to the tension. Will her daring actions be enough to thwart the enemy and make her father proud? Dive into a tale of courage and unexpected revelations set against the backdrop of early 1800s conflict.
From the publisher
While Caroline is out fishing one spring day, she sees a British warship about to capture an American boat. With only an instant to decide what to do, Caroline takes a daring risk to try to save the day. She’s been trying to be brave, like she promised Papa, but would he be proud of her now? Missing him terribly, Caroline visits their special fishing spot on the shore of Lake Ontario. She hopes to find comfort there–but instead she makes a startling discovery! The illustrated “Looking Back” section discusses transportation and medicine in the early 1800s.
