Katie's Trunk by Ann Turner
Before the American Revolution officially began, tension filled the air — and Katie could feel it all around her. Neighbors no longer spoke, old friends turned their backs, and whispers of “Tory” followed her family through town. When armed rebels come to ransack their home, Katie’s father sends the family to hide in the woods. But Katie, angry and brave, can’t stay away. She slips back into the house — straight into the heart of danger — and discovers that courage sometimes means seeing humanity even in those we fear.
Based on a true story from the author’s own family history, Katie’s Trunk offers a deeply personal glimpse into the early days of the American Revolution. Ann Turner’s vivid storytelling and Ronald Himler’s soft, haunting illustrations reveal a time when loyalty, fear, and compassion all collided — and one girl’s quiet bravery shone through.
