Just cozy up around the "round" table to read
"Spitfire!"
"October, 1776… Twelve-year-old Abigail Smith disguises herself as a boy,
steals a leaky rowboat, and sets out to join the American fleet on Lake Champlain.
She’ll risk her life to find her uncle — her only living relative and her only hope for a
real home. Young Pascal De Angelis is on board an American ship, awaiting battle
with the British when Abigail joins the crew. She introduces herself as Adam Smith
and establishes herself as a worker and a loyal friend. Neither Abigail nor Pascal
realizes just how close they are to one of the bloodiest battles the Champlain Valley
will ever see. And neither can predict how those three days in October will change their lives forever."
