As the Revolutionary War Heats up, a Boy's Hometown World Burns Down! 1777 - Danbury on Fire! is an all-ages historical novel of the Revolution. From dinner party to disaster, the reader follows a boy through the days surrounding the British raid on a small-town Connecticut Patriot commissary. From dinner party to decapitation, 13-year-old Joe Hamilton rushes from one disaster to the next until he faces the flames - and freezes to a stop, knowing he's coward. Joe's extended family has split over the war: his Patriot grandfather has threatened Joe's pacifist father with jail for not enlisting. Now the redcoat invasion forces all characters to abandon their beliefs and protect their families from the consequences of their own acts. Snips from historical documents seeded through the text prove the truth of the fact-driven plot. From British generals to the put-upon Tory neighbor and his overworked daughter, real people do exactly what they did in April of 1777. A bibliography is included, plus the characters' lives after the war. Whether you wonder about the lives of your ancestors or want to relive classics like Johnny Tremaine, this book surrounds fact with the caustic commentary of young Joe, who figures out fast that he'd better listen hard or someone might die.
