Give Me Liberty, by L.M. Elliott, Katherine Tegen Books, HarperCollinsChildrens ISBN: 978-0-06-074421-2. Liberty is written for ages 9 and up, appropriate for forth grade through middle school readers, but, I am enjoying this book immensely. Elliott's research vividly presents life at Williamsburg on the eve of the American Revolution. I love her descriptions of their food and contemporary songs.
