The Secret Soldier: The Story of Deborah Sampson

This is a book about Deborah Sampson, who wants to go to the army in the Revolutionary War, but there are no girls allowed. What I liked most about the book was how she transformed into a boy and how well she acted like one too. My favorite part was at the end, when she told her captain that Robert was not a boy and was actually Deborah Sampson. I would recommend this book for nonfiction readers. --FW

I was disappntionointed to find this was a children's book. There was no mention of this in the description. Other than that, the book was fine. New condition.

I just personally think this is an important story for people to know about outside of the normal battle ones that kids are taught in school. I read this as a kid and it just always stuck with me.

I was teaching my kids about the revolutionary war and my 9 year old daughter (who hates reading) loved this story.

One of my favorite books from my childhood so I bought it for my daughter and she loved it!

This was used with fourth graders as adjunct to their social studies unit,and the kids LOVED it.It is a real account of a young girl who wanted to be a soldier, which was not even considered in that day, and how she attempted to make that happen.

My son read this for Battle of the Books in his school. Great book and story. I was happy that it was about a female soldier and that my son enjoyed it.

Purchased this for my 11 year old granddaughter who enjoyed learning about Deborah and gave an oral report dressed as her. Beautiful learning experience.
