But the Harpers’ prisoner turns out to be Maddy, a Scottish Rebel’s daughter. When vicious Scottish Rebels are captured, Forrest can’t wait to stand guard – this is his chance to prove his courage and loyalty. “Eleven-year-old Forrest Harper lives with his family at the Tower of London, where he helps his father tend the ravens and guard the prisoners. You’ll have to read the book to find out if she makes it out of the famous Tower of London. Later, Forrest tries talking Maddy into escaping. These prisoners were Scottish Rebels, followers of James Stuart who claimed to be the rightful King of England. Maddy along with her Jacobite father and uncle are all imprisoned/soon-to-be executed for rebelling against George II, the current King of England. Set in 1735, London, 11-year-old Forrest, son of the royal ravenmaster, befriends Maddy, a young Scottish girl. This book is very descriptive, especially in the climactic parts. Out of the many books I was reading the past few months, The Ravenmaster’s Secret: Escape from the Tower of London by Elvira Woodruff has to be one of the best I’ve read.
