"Defiance on Indian Creek is a solid story...While Mary is the storyteller here, there are Michael and George Shirley, which are strong male characters that a young boy could relate to. Recommended for young readers on up." -James Fisher "Excellent for anyone teaching history through literature. Defiance on Indian Creek fills an important gap in history because most revolutionary war historical fiction is written from the perspective of those living in New England."-Homeschool Teacher "Great historical fiction novel ...I collaborate with the social studies teacher to find books that will fill dual purposes - teaching reading comprehension and giving students a better picture of what life is like during certain time periods. This book is perfect for that."-Language Arts Teacher
