Ranger’s next mission finds him in the middle of the Revolutionary War. There he meets Isaac Pope, a fisherman turned soldier for the Continental Army.

Ranger must help Isaac remain safe and undetected, or the battle — and their lives — will be lost.

Praise for the Ranger in Time series:
“This excellent story contains historical details, full-page illustrations, and enough action to keep even reluctant readers engaged.”
~ School Library Journal
“The third-person narration expertly balances Ranger’s thoughts between the appropriately doglike (squirrels! bacon!) and the heroic (Ranger’s drive to find and protect).”
~ Kirkus
“McMorris’s richly rendered illustrations heighten the plot’s many moments of danger and drama, and Messner (Manhunt) incorporates a wealth of historical details into her rousing adventure story. An author’s note offers additional context and detail about the challenges pioneers faced and the real-life research that went into this story.”
~ Publishers Weekly
“Readers will love following Ranger on his thrilling adventure along the Oregon Trail. What a great way to learn about history!”
~Lauren Tarshis, author of the I Survived series
