Capture the Flag by Kate Messner

9/10

Really great book.  Quick pace and historical references.  The author uses idioms and quotes as a connecting feature in writer's craft.  There is also a lot of interwoven connection between all of the characters, who have never met until now.  Their descriptions are vivid and have a lot of personality.  They learn a lot from each other even though they come from very diverse backgrounds.

Think about how you make connections between the characters in your writing pieces.  What idea could you use that brings them all together, even if they have never met before?
