Lydia the Patriot

I'm not entirely sure as to how I ended up with this particular American historical styled novel.  I think at the time I was looking for something to add to our read alouds in Korrong.   Even though I am an Australian I think that this book fitted in nicely for where we are in our History timeline.  Not my normal read aloud style, but still doable.
