Essential Question:  What is "truth" and who defines it? 

 

"What matters? What's true? Or what people think?"  Ann Revere often asks this question in The Secret of Sarah Revere, by Ann Rinaldi. 

 

The story is based on actual historical facts during the time of the Revolutionary War---although the lives of the people are embellished.  Understanding "truth" is a theme in this book--specifically:  (1) promoting one's own truth; (2) joining others who share that truth; (3) dealing with those who disagree with that truth; (4) sifting through other people's claims of truth; (5) denying one's own truth; and, finally, (6) standing behind one's truth. 

 

This book provides the perspective of a 13-year-old girl whose father is one of those leading the rebels in the Revolutionary War.  Nothing is simple during this tumultuous time, as Sarah learns.
