Cast Two Shadows By Ann Rinaldi This story takes place during the American Revolution and is told through the eyes of young Caroline Whitaker. Caroline and her family live in Camden, South Carolina. As the war moves into their town, Caroline’s father is taken to prison for being a Rebel. Their home is subsequently taken over by Lord Colonel Francis Rawdon. Caroline, her mother, and sister are forced to become servants to Rawdon and the other soldiers occupying their home. Caroline is young but very smart and hatches a plan by telling Rawdon she wishes to go on a trip to find her brother. She assures Rawdon that her brother, Johnny, will be an excellent spy for Rawdon and can get him the information he needs to fight against Sumter. Rawdon desperately needs intelligence so he allows Caroline to go but she must take a “negra” from the staff with her. Caroline has no idea the secrets she will learn on this journey. One thing is for sure, Caroline will never be the same. Will she be able to come to peace with what she knows? Will she be smart enough to save her family and her home? Will she learn to trust her instincts? This well-written historical novel will keep students on the edge of their seats.
