In the nonfiction book Molly Pitcher by Augusta Stevenson, Mary (Molly) Pitcher, the main character, has a nice, young childhood on a farm. She wins a cattle competition when she was around 10 years old. Then, she almost gets robbed. When she grows up, she moves to Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Once war begins, her husband dies in the war. Her new husband also ends up fighting in the war and dies of heat exhaustion, so, she takes over his cannon that he fired and is a hero. She almost gets hit by a cannon ball from the British, but it just missed in between her legs. She observed that she was lucky it did not go higher otherwise it would’ve caused horrible damage. The main problem in this story is that she wants to fight in the war but she is not allowed to. She ends up going anyway. She saves hundreds of lives with water. I would definitely recommend this book to many of my friends and family because I love how the book held my interest the whole way throughout it, and made me want to keep reading because it was just so interesting. It definitely made me curious to know more about the Revolutionary War and the important people in it. The information was presented clearly enough that a 3rd grader could probably read it. That was one of my favorite parts about the book. -Shae
