Weigh Up Epithetical Books Finishing Becca: A Story about Peggy Shippen and Benedict Arnold

I LOVED me some Ann Rinaldi when I was twelve, and I bought this book during that obsession, yet never read it due to my freakish book organization rules. I thought that she did a great job of making history accessible to younger readers, without talking down to them (she gives a glossary of lesser-known historical terms at the end of the book instead). Since the main character is always the same age as the intended reader, it makes it easy for us to understand and relate to a person that could

It's been years since I reread this and I really enjoyed it. --" 'They are part of me. They are some of my missing pieces.' It was the first time I understood that you can lose some pieces after you've found them."

This book has everything I love in Ann Rinaldi's books. History, intrigue, interesting characters, and then her author's note telling you what's true or not. Really great. Will have to reread some others here soon.

This review can also be found on Leopard Kitty Books, http://leopardkittybooks.blogspot.com . :)The day I bought this book was one of those days that I kept staring and staring at the YA section of the bookstore and every book looked the same and none of them interesting. Usually I just can't get enough of YA books but that day I was looking for something new, something different from the books that I usually read. Well I was right. This book was certainly different from most of the books I have

I wanted to love this book but I simply couldn't finish it. I found the characters one dimensional and stiff. It was hard to enjoy, even with historical figures I wanted to read about due to fascination. I wish I could get into it, but I truly struggled to find the appeal.

I wanted to like this book, I bought it at a used bookstore on a whim because my name is similar to the title and I'm from PA. However, something about the style was just so offputting. It didn't flow for me, I was never engaged, it was just a total slog. Becca's thoughts were very heavy-handed, I feel. You know, her doomsday pronouncements and all. Like, Peggy thought it would be like ____ and it was. It didn't feel like the voice of a rather immature young girl. I wasn't invested in Becca, her

I really enjoyed this historical fiction. The perspective of the made-up servant added to the foreboding and painted the scene. It was interesting that Benedict Arnold didn't come into the picture until more than halfway through the book but I guess she wanted to say that his story happened long before he met Peggy Shippen. Great details that helped you feel you were there.
