After supper one winter night in 1825, Anna and Benjamin Stone's grandchildren gathered around their rocking chairs.
Hannah asked, "Grandma, will you tell us a story from when you and Grandpa were young?"
Benjamin chuckled as he folded his newspaper. "Yes, Anna, tell them about the time you saved General Washington's job and made sure we won the American Revolution!"
Hannah's eyes got as big as saucers."Grandma, did you meet George Washington? How did you save his job? Did we really almost lose the Revolution?"
Thomas couldn't believe his ears. Grandmas gave you hugs, mended the rips in your breeches, and baked pies. They didn't go running off to right wars!
Anna's eyes twinkled in the firelight. "It's been nearly fifty years since the first days of the Revolution, and I remember everything as though it was just yesterday."
Revolutionary Anna is a retelling of Answering Liberty's Call. 3rd-5th grade reading level. First in the Liberty Belles Series for Young Readers. Lexile Rating 740L.
