Description

The American Revolution brought years of turmoil to Maryland and its capital city. This story of a circle of relatives who lived in Annapolis all over that period of the nation’s history shows the times that turned their world upside down. From the burning of the ship Peggy Stewart all over the Annapolis “tea party,” to the war’s end, the five Sands children and their parents were part of events that created a new nation. Their story takes readers into the world of 1776 to experience something of what life used to be like all over the Revolutionary War. Abnormal Marylanders played a very important role in winning independence. Many, like twenty-year-old Will Sands, joined the Continental Army. He used to be a number of the Maryland men whose brave stand at the Battle of Long Island enabled the remainder of the army to continue the fight for independence. Today, Maryland is referred to as the “Old Line State” in their honor. This new and revised edition of The World Turned Upside Down is written especially for fourth and fifth graders, but will also be enjoyed by brothers, sisters, teachers, parents, and grandparents too. It includes a glossary, maps, and historical background material. Grades 4 to 8
