5.0 out of 5 stars Was a favorite of mine when I was young., 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I was given "Toliver's Secret" as a gift when in 4th grade. I read it several times. I loved it. As an Elementary School teacher, it is still a favorite of mine. It provides excitement and fun for the reader, has great character development, while at the same time allowing the reader to learn what things were like during the Revolutionary War.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an outstanding piece of historical fiction., 23 May 1998
By A Customer
This is an outstanding piece of historical fiction for young readers. It can be used in a classroom to bring the Revolutionary War alive in the minds of young readers. You take every step with Ellen Toliver and hold your breath with every obstacle she faces. Ten year old Ellen changes from a timid, shy girl to a confident, spunky girl,and young readers can identify with her feelings. The ending satisfies the reader's need for closure to Ellen's adventures, but it also leaves the reader with a question to wonder about. I couldn't put this book down the first time I read it. My fourth grade students want a sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Exciting, 23 April 1998
By A Customer
This book has excitement from the beginning to the end. It takes place during the Revolutionary war. Ellen, a 10 year old, must take an important message across New York Harbor to Elizabeth Town. The British are everywhere and are staying in everyone's houses. They are also taking over everything, so when Ellen mistakingly gets off at Amboy (10-13 miles away from Elizabeth Town), she must walk instead of taking the stage coach. Ellen meets a special friend on her journey who teaches her an important lesson. Despite the hardships Ellen has while she is on her mission, she is rewarded in the end. I highly recommend this book. I couldn't put it down.
