Caroline's Battle

Paperback (American Girl Sept. 4, 2012)
Caroline's father has just returned when they receive frightening news--British warships are sailing to attack Sackets Harbor. Every grown man, including Papa, has been called to defend the village. Mama and Caroline are left alone to guard Abbott's Shipyard as the battlefront draws ever closer. Caroline knows she must be brave to keep Papa's shipyard safe. But when the battle seems lost, Mama gives her a terrible order: burn the shipyard to the ground. Will Caroline really be able to do what must be done?

The illustrated "Looking Back" section discusses the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the burning of the White House during the War of 1812.
