I liked this book because of all the conflicts in this book. Like when Betsy read stopped Sam from delivering the letter. Ch. 6 Pg. 83-84
I also like all the suspense like you never knew when Sam was coming , he just showed up. Ch.1 Pg. 1-2
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a sad story and suspense. The ending was a suspenseful and a strange way for Sam to die but it was good. Ch. 14 Pg. 208
