American Challenge
|
Travel back in time to 1770 to 1819! American Challenge will transport you back to the formative years of our nation, teaching important lessons of history and Christian faith.
Time Period: 1770 Twelve-year-old Bostonian Lydia Lankford knows in her heart of hearts that the patriot cause is true and just-so why can't other members of her family see that, too? When the Boston Massacre occurs, this fictional colonist finds herself witnessing a spark that helps to ignite the American Revolution. The fascinating story of Lydia Lankford shares the coming-of-age experiences of an impetuous girl on the verge of young womanhood, while teaching important lessons of Christian faith and American history.
Time Period: 1775 When Kate Milton and her cousin happen across the Boston Tea Party, they unwittingly step into the midst of the American Revolution. The eleven-year-old girl finds herself pulled deeper into the conflict by members of her own family-by those who support the Patriot's revolutionary cause and those who believe the colonies should submit to the King in England. When her cousin begins to spy for the Patriots, what should she do? Kate and the Spies uses actual historical events to tell a compelling fictional story-of a girl who must determine the right course of action in a confused and difficult time.
Time Period: 1808 Thirteen-year-old Betsy Miller is shocked when her parents decide to move from their home in Boston to the rugged frontier city of Cincinnati. They'll take a dangerous, weeks-long journey by boat down the Ohio River. If that's not bad enough, Betsy's annoying cousin George is also making the trip-with his equally annoying dog. This exciting story shares the emotional turmoil of a young woman experiencing dramatic life changes-while at the same time teaching important lessons of Christian faith and American history.
Time Period: 1819 Grace Morgan can't stand the dirty, unkempt boy who harasses her meek and quiet cousin. But Grace soon gets a taste of the bully's hard life of poverty when her hometown of Cincinnati is struck by a serious drought, affecting both farmers and Ohio River businesses. As Grace and her cousin's family finances dry up in the drought, what can they do to help their loved ones, the bully, and a mysterious, glamorous young woman who's just arrived in town? Using actual historical events to tell a compelling fictional story, Grace and the Bully teaches an important lesson on judging others.
