Calico Captive by Elizabeth George SpeareMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Calico Captive is another superb book by one of my favorite authors: Elizabeth George Speare. She, in my opinion, is the queen of historical fiction. Her novels are set in accurate and important historical settings and her protagonists are always young adults that young adult readers (and everyone else) can relate to. Calico Captive is set in New Hampshire, then Montreal in the French and Indian War. It is based on a true account of a family kidnapped by Indians and sold into slavery after a harrowing march through the wilderness. It is exciting and has enough romance to keep you captivated (no pun intended.) I have read every one of Speare’s novels at least twice. I only wish she had written more!
