Summary: trying to live in the wilderness
Review: Sarah Bishop is a young girl trying to make it through the Revolutionary War. She has no family and no place to live. Her house got burned down the night her father was killed and her brother Chad was a prisoner on a British ship. He died as well. As she travels north she is accused of starting a fire. This makes her want to run farther and faster away from her home. She finally finds a cave and starts her life over in the wilderness. Scott O'Dell put a lot of detail into this book and he really helps you understand what Sarah is going through. This is a really good book. I recommend it.

Summary: Mixed Thoughts
Review: Sarah Bishop is the story of a girl who finds hardship and heartache at every turn in the plot. The story takes place during the Revolutionary War. Sarah's father is loyal to the King of England and her only brother joins up with the other side, the Patriots. Sarah tragically loses both of them, her father dying from tar and feathering, and her brother Chad dying on a British prison ship. Things go from bad to worse for Sarah as she sets off for the northern wilderness of Westchester away from NYC, Long Island and the War.Yes, this is an interesting story of the Revolution, survival and spirit and, mostly, very interesting. I kept thinking things can't get any worse for Sarah but they did ! She's lost her family, her farm, her silver, and starts a life away from people, living in a cave, bitten by a copperhead, accused of being a witch, and put on trial. By the end end of the book, I thought for sure the author would resolve the direction of Sarah's life and her feelings - but he didn't and the book just ended. You feel robbed, like "So that's it? ! ? " Oh well, maybe the author means to write Part II: Sarah Bishop - Life After the Cave ?

Review: Sarah Bishop is the story of a girl who loses all her family and is forced to live on her own. After being accused by the British of a crime she didn't comit, Sarah is forced to flee to the woods and start a new life. The story tells of Sarah's struggles to overcome danger in the wilderness and her attempt to escape the Revolutionary War. I think Sarah is brave because she never gives up, even when times get rough. I feel this is a good book of independence, determination, and bravery. I recommend this book to people who enjoy adventure and excitement.

Review: Sarah Bishop

Period: P.6 Sarah Bishop is a 15-year-old girl who struggled through many troubles during the American Independence war. Her father was killed and her brother joined the patriot and was captured in a prison ship and died. Sarah was left alone to make a living by herself, and the author portrayed her as an independent, determined, and tough young girl. Because of the death of her farther and brother, she built up a hatred to the British and never trusted anyone she met. She was convicted for starting a fire but she was innocent. She was given a musket by a ferry man and escaped from prison and started to live in a cave near Long Pond. With this musket Sarah was able to hunt and live independently in the wilderness.
I liked the detailed and realistic writing of this book. The author expressed the difficulties Sarah faced in very specific details. With the complex and descriptive sentences, the book was extremely thrilling. For instance, "It was a bright day, with the sun glinting on the trees."
However, there were some sections I disliked. When Sarah survived in the wilderness, the author didn't entirely describe how she survived every season. "Snow fell early in December, as John Longknife had predicted, and lasted for three days." Although the author did not describe in detail about the outcome of the trial, the story ending suggests that Sarah was set free. "Above the trees, down in the valley, I watched the lamps in Ridgeford village go on."
I found this novel very appealing, especially when Sarah runs away from the British soldiers. This section is my favorite part of the book because the descriptions are so real and make the readers feel that they are actually involved in the story. Overall, this book is a fantastic historical fiction.
