Part of the My America series, this story is set in 1776 Philadelphia, where nine-year-old Hope records events both large and small in her diary. The greatest worry is for her father, a patriot who has gone on a sea journey and is overdue. Other trials include school, where a nasty schoolmaster makes things difficult, and her brother's running away to become a Tory. The intense political developments of those days are sketched in via brief references to delegates and their work. The war's presence grows too, and by the story's end, Hope and her family must flee Philadelphia to stay at her uncle's farm. Gregory does an effective job of evoking the times; the hard work routinely done by young children may be an eye opener for today's readers. Story-wise, however, kids may be unhappy that the fates of Hope's father and brother are left hanging. -Denise Wilms--Booklist, January 1, 2001With the now-predictable combination of childlike interests and political acumen shared by a host of fictional diarists, nine-year-old Hope Potter records her observations of the comings and goings of the fictitious and famous in Philadelphia at the onset of Revolution. Father is off ona secret mission, Mother is running the family bakery, brother Ethan is trying to decide whether he's Patriot or Tory, the widowed Quaker neighbor is "read out" by her family, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson are buying tarts when they're not meeting in Congress, and Hope reads Thomas Paine and commits portions fo the Declaration of Independence to memory when she's not helping in the shop. While this title features some weaknesses of the recet spate of series historical fiction--especially a tendency to offer diary notations that serve no purpose other than the reader's edification---it also shares a commendable strength. Kid-pleasing, authentic details of everyday life abound---from harsh, often cruel, classroom discipline, to the simple problem of hiding a quill pen for a predatory house cat, to the severe discomforts of life without electricity and central heating. Gregory leaves readers with some cliffhangers and the promise of a coming sequel.
