Katie's Trunk by Ann Turner

Based on a true incident that happened to one of the author's ancestors, Katie's Trunk gives an unusual and arresting glimpse of the beginnings of the American Revolution.

Then one day it happened--the rebels came Katie's father told the family to hide in the woods. At first Katie obeyed, but as she crouched in the underbrush she got mad and ran back to defend her home. It wasn't right for people to treat one another this way. But what could one little girl do about it?
