  • John's Story: 1775

    Joan Lowery Nixon

    Hardcover (Delacorte Books for Young Readers, Dec. 11, 2001)
    The year 1775 is an explosive one — both for the colony of Virginia and 11-year-old John Nicholas’s family. The tensions are rising between England and the colonies, and Virginians disagree on how to act. Like many, John’s father, Robert Carter Nicholas, hopes to find a peaceful solution, but John’s older brother George and his company of the Williamsburg militia think Virginians need to fight for their rights. John feels caught in the middle between the two people he admires most. Can they both be right?
