My ten year old daughter was given this book by her school librarian to read for a class project. The dialogue between characters is too difficult for a ten year old reader.

About The Secret of Sarah Revere
Parents need to know that this portrait of revolutionary Boston, as seen by Paul Revere's sometimes recalcitrant 13-year-old daughter, has romance and intrigue.

My daughter's school library suggested this book for a class reading project. As a parent, I'm disappointed with the choice. The dialogue between characters is difficult for a ten year old reader. The writing stye and subject is also boring.

I'm thirteen and just read this book. It was an OK book, but it did mention "women time" in that exact context, and also called someone a whore once. If you shelter your children from life, you might not want them to read about a whore. I was recommended this book by a friend in my same grade, 8, who is still twelve. I think it is appropriate for Jr High students and up. (12 and up)

This book was wonderful! Inside the class and out. It is perfect if your child enjoys diaries or Revolutionary War books. Ann Rinaldi is a great author! READ IT!!!
