My little sister Molly recommended Midnight Rider by Joan Hiatt Harlow as one of her favorite books. Since I tend to love children's historical fiction, I decided to read it. Midnight Rider is the story of 14-year-old Hannah, living in 1775. When she is forced to work as an indentured servant after being orphaned, Hannah finds herself in the home of a British general. Along with her own desires for freedom, Hannah soon becomes sympathetic to the cause of the American colonies. With her horse, Promise, Hannah becomes a midnight rider to help the cause she feels matters most.
I really enjoyed this book. Like most historical fiction books, it was so enlightening to read because of all the historical facts and characters included in the story. It was fun to read this story's take on what individuals may have felt through their experiences during the American Revolution.
