- Synopsis
- Trouble strikes in Boston! Lydia and Stephen Lankford are growing up in a Boston that is occupied by more than four thousand British soldiers. Like many other children in Boston, Lydia taunts the soldiers and throws snowballs at them, but Stephen worries that his older sister might get into serious trouble. Then trouble strikes! A British sentry is surrounded by a mob of more than one hundred colonists. The mob refuses to break up and pelts the soldier with ice and stones. When it's over, four colonists are dead and one more is dying. Was it self-defense or murder? Stephen and Lydia eagerly await the verdict. And while they wait, Stephen wonders if Lydia will learn her lesson or if her impulsive behavior will bring danger to their own family.
