Reseña del editor
Young Andrew Beckett hopes to be a doctor. Jack Cochran plans to take over his father's position as militia captain of the fort. Then Paul Revere rides into town with urgent news that changes their lives forever. The Portsmouth Alarm: December 1774 is based on an actual event. On December 13, 1774, just four months before the events in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, Paul Revere delivered a message to the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Committee of Correspondence. The message warned of General Gage's shocking plan for the Piscataqua Region sparking hundreds in New Hampshire and Massachusetts (now Maine) to take action.
Nota de la solapa
“DeMitchell has a talent for the small details that result in a vivid story. . . .[Her] aim is to provoke thought about the incidents that led to war. Beckett and Cochran feel like real people with real needs rather than handy political constructs or symbols. . . .A worthwhile read that personalizes the conflicts that led to the American Revolution.” —Kirkus Reviews “The opening of the American Revolution was by its nature a confused affair, involving deep and sometimes conflicting emotions. . . .Ms. DeMitchell's book captures the feel of that time and place remarkably well. Her characters' views and motivations are realistic and thought-provoking. She weaves the complex issues of the early Revolution into her narrative in a manner that is understandable to readers and she allows her audience to reach their own conclusions about both the loyalist and patriot perspectives.” —Thomas F. Kehr, Esq., a former president and historian of the New Hampshire Society of the Sons of the American Revolution “DeMitchell's riveting account of the Portsmouth rebellion invites readers to wrestle with the full spectrum of views on the appropriateness of this act of civil disobedience, as experienced by three teenagers whose personal relationships and lives will be forever altered. Social studies and language arts teachers committed to citizenship education through the analysis of public issues will appreciate the author's detailed, eminently fair, and complex treatment of a most controversial event.” —Joseph J. Onosko, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Social Studies Theory & Methods Department of Education, University of New Hampshire
