In 1777, seventeen-year-old Roland McCaffrey joins the American Revolution. He is part of the army trying to stop the invasion force of British general John Burgoyne. Fighting alongside his sergeant and mentor, Roland becomes a skilled rifleman. He feels guilty for killing but plays an important role in the American strategy. At the Battles of Saratoga, Roland engages in combat under Benedict Arnold.









My Review

Even though it is mostly for younger readers, I still enjoyed The Ghosts of Saratoga. I thought the authors did a great job bringing to life a few known officers from the American Revolution. I enjoyed the characters of Roland and Caleb and seeing how they cope during this time in their lives.

I am giving The Ghosts of Saratoga four and a half stars. I was happy to pass my copy on to my children’s school library to let others enjoy it, as well.

I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100%  my own honest opinion.
