Informazioni sul libro
Twelve-year-old Marie LeRoy has been trying to be a good mistress to her farming family—now dwelling on the Pennsylvania frontier. But nothing prepares her for the brutal attack on her home and other farms along Penn’s Creek in October 1755. Taken prisoner, she and her friend, Barbara Leininger, live among the Delaware Indians for 3 1/2 years. In this personal and candid retelling of a true experience, Marie describes a hard, sometimes violent life mixed with brief moments of plenty, generosity and friendship. Moved to central Ohio—far from any rescue—she must find the courage to join Barbara and two other prisoners in an escape that can only mean death if recaptured. Historical fiction for ages eleven and older.

WES LODER
Kutztown, Pennsylvania
Retired academic librarian with strong background in both history and photography. Book: The Nikon Camera in America, 1946-1953 has been in print since 2008. The Tenax book is a continuation of my research into the connection between technology and culture. Taken Beyond the Ohio is my first venture into historical fiction for younger readers. Both Beetle: The Auto biography of a Virtual Girl and Forbidden Games are full-length novels that explore the modern world as youth experiences it today through either speculative or YA fiction.
