REVOLUTIONARY

Alex Myers

In 1782, during the final clashes of the Revolutionary War, one of our young nation's most valiant and beloved soldiers was, secretly, a woman.
When Deborah Samson disguised herself as a man and joined the Continental Army, she wasn't just fighting for America's independence - she was fighting for her own. Revolutionary, Alex Myers's richly imagined and meticulously researched debut novel, brings the true story of Deborah's struggle against a rigid colonial society back to life - and with it the courage, hope, fear, and heartbreak that shaped her journey through a country's violent birth.

"an approachable, imaginative novel, a tale of muskets and masquerade, of marches and mutiny, that is also as an evocative portrayal of life in the Continental Army, capturing the mixture of bravado and boredom of army life. " January 2014
