Laura Secord's Brave Walk

Book Overview

Laura Secord was a true heroine. In 1812, Laura Secord lived with her husband and children near Niagara Falls when war was declared between the United States and the British forces in the country now known as Canada. Her name remains legendary today because, after overhearing some news about an ambush that might change the course of the war, she walked for miles behind enemy lines, on her way to warn of the attack.

Customer Reviews

Riveting!

I read this book to my children (7 & 9) and they wouldn't let me put it down. Absolutely riveting! Ms. Crook is an eloquent author who manages to pull you right into the story. She is a Canadian, with an avid interest in the history of the United Empire Loyalists, which adds an interesting dimension to her writing.
