This book used to be one of my favorite Dear America stories. Ann Rinaldi's written dozens of books, most of which I've read over the past few years and most of which I haven't cared for much. I haven't read any critical reviews of her other books, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were problems there, too, although not as many as are in this book.
I don't remember where I first saw this book criticized, but after I read a scathing review of it, I never opened the cover again, nor will I now. It sits with my others, only because if I ever sell these, I want a complete set.
You can read the review, too, and see just how awful a job Ann Rinaldi did:
