Description
Fourteen-year-old Katie McCafferty risks job, family, and eventually her
very life to rescue a lifelong friend. Disguised as a draft resister,
Katie infiltrates a secret Irish organization to prevent bloodshed.
Tragedies challenge her strength and ingenuity, and she faces a crisis
of conscience. Can Katie balance her sense of justice with the law?
Call Me Kate is suitable for readers from eleven to adult. The
story is dramatic and adventuresome, yet expressive of daily life in the
patches of the hard coal region during the Civil War era. This novel
will appeal to readers of the Dear America series, as well as more mature readers who will enjoy the story’s rich context and drama.
