Ride of courage / Felder, Deborah G

Molly Randall, an eleven-year-old girl living in 1781 Virginia, has been waging a personal campaign for independence against her parents who still think of her as a child, but she gets the chance to prove she is growing up when she is charged with spreading the message that the redcoats are advancing.

In 1781, twelve-year-old Molly Randall, living with her family in Yorktown, Virginia, finds her courage tested when she must ride a powerful Arabian horse to get help for a neighbor about to be executed for treason by the British.
