OLDER FICTION
Hughes, Pat Raccio

Five 4ths of July

(4) YA This Revolutionary War–set drama traces the coming-of-age of Jake Mallery, from boy to rebel, then soldier, prisoner-of-war, and patriot. The story unfolds over five chapters, covering consecutive July fourth holidays from 1777–1781. The dialogue isn't always strong, but solid characterization and vivid setting will stay with readers.
