This book was not illustrated but included photos to help tell the story. The pictures showed the characters dressed in clothes from between the late 1700s and early 1800s. The girls were wearing stockings, garters, and hats. The boys wore hats and ruffles. The furniture was old. Mary's character was curious because she wanted to know what was happening with the war. I thought she was loyal because she would be upset if her friend had to move away due to the war between England and the colonist. This was a good story. We don't think much about how children are affected during world events. ( )

This colorful book is a great narrrative of what life is like in the life of a colonial girl living in Williamsburg.The language is authentic as it uses the old English language that was used back during that time. Kate Waters does an excellent job.
