"Jacqueline of the Carrier Pigeons" by Augusta Huiell Seaman is a story that drops us into the heart of Leyden, a city under siege in the late 1500s, as the Dutch fight for freedom. We meet Jacqueline and her little brother, Gysbert, two brave kids whose lives are caught up in the chaos of war. When they send their specially-trained pigeons into the sky, hoping to exchange them for messages, it kicks off a series of events where they stand up for their community. Even with the Spanish army closing in, these siblings show incredible courage by finding ways to resist. Jacqueline is always looking out for Gysbert, who dreams of making a difference in the fight for liberty. The themes of bravery, and doing what's right, fill every moment of the read. The odds are stacked against them, and there's the question how they will possibly find hope in such dark times.
