Forge

Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson is a historical fiction about a boy named Curzon who is a soldier at Valley Forge. Curzon is a former slave who was going with his friend to find her little sister, but decides to become a soldier. The main problem in this story is that he has to survive Valley Forge and run away from his master. This book made me realize how difficult it was in Valley Forge for soldiers. This also made me appreciate how far soldiers went to fight for this country. I would definitely recommend this book and the rest of the series for anyone. - Merium
