Valley Forge, the famous site of the Continental Army’s 1777-1778 winter encampment, was host to one of the most important episodes of the American Revolution.

Ashes is the heart-pounding and riveting conclusion to Laurie Halse Anderson’s award-winning Seeds of America Trilogy.
Freedom for one, or freedom for all? That’s the question that burns in Isabel’s mind as she and Curzon forge on through chaos and fear toward the dream that’s kept them alive for so many years: freedom. But her dream of living not as a “runaway” but as a free person with land and a family of her own seems impossible far away. That dream hinges on one thing: finding her little sister, Ruth. (Paperback, 298 pages).
Acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson continues the thrilling adventure started in her bestselling, award-winning novel Chains. Ride along on a gallop that will take you from battling the British at Saratoga to fighting the elements at Valley Forge to rebelling against merciless tyranny. Discover what the fight for freedom was really all about. Softcover, 320 pgs. Age 10 and up.
