I absolutely love historical fiction and read a lot of it; I love to learn history this way. I also enjoy reading science fiction, fantasy, horror, thriller and non-fiction science.
Visions of Teaoga is a middle grade novel that throws readers back to the 1700's when America was in an upheaval between Native Americans and Settlers along the New York State and Pennsylvania border.
Pre-teen Maddy takes a trip with her father to Pennsylvania. As they pass all of the historical sites, Maddy becomes interested in them. Especially a sign about Queen Esther. Luckily, Maddy's dad has found her a job helping at a children's summer camp. Mrs. T, the director knows a lot about the local Native American history and takes Maddy to Queen Esther's settlement. While Maddy is there, she starts to have visions of the settlement and the people who lived there. The story jumps back and forth between Maddy's summer learning about Queen Esther and Queen Esther herself in 1790. Queen Esther has made the journey to the Teaoga treaty grounds for the U.S.- Iroquois.
