Caroline takes a chance / by Kathleen Ernst ; illustrations, Robert Papp ; vignettes, Lisa Papp.
"While Caroline is out fishing one spring day, she sees a British warship about to capture an American boat. With only an instant to decide what to do, Caroline takes a daring risk to try to save the day. She's been trying to be brave, like she promised Papa, but would he be proud of her now? Missing him terribly, Caroline visits their special fishing spot on the shore of Lake Ontario. She hopes to find comfort there-- but instead she makes a startling discovery! The illustrated "Looking Back" section discusses transportation and medicine in the early 1800s"-- Publisher's web site.
Caroline is anxiously awaiting for the first supply boats of the year to arrive in Sackets Harbor. Without the supplies, the shipyards can't build boats to fight the British. When Caroline and her friends Rhonda and Seth go out fishing in Papa's skiff, they're excited to catch sight of a supply boat--until they realize that it's being chased by a British warship. Caroline comes up with a daring idea to save to supply boat.
