📖 Cast Two Shadows

Fourteen-year-old Caroline Whitaker was raised in South Carolina during the tumultuous and violent years of the American Revolution. Her father is a Patriot in prison, her home has been taken over by British officers, and a few months ago, her best friend was cruelly murdered. However, Caroline is white-passing, so she can at least know that they won't come for her. Her slave grandmother lives in a log hut on the same property, and she is not allowed to speak to her. But when Caroline's brother is badly wounded, she must gather the courage to bring him home. I recommend this book because it gives readers a look at just how devastating wars are. In the book Cast Two Shadows, Caroline must risk her life for her brothers, showing selflessness and bravery.

14 岁的卡罗琳-惠特克(Caroline Whitaker)在南卡罗来纳州长大,当时正值美国革命的动荡和暴力年代。她的父亲是狱中的爱国者,她的家被英国军官占领,几个月前,她最好的朋友被残忍地杀害。不过,卡罗琳是白人,所以她至少知道他们不会来抓她。她的奴隶祖母住在同一块土地上的一间木屋里,她不能和祖母说话。但是,当卡罗琳的哥哥受了重伤时,她必须鼓起勇气把他带回家。我之所以推荐这本书,是因为它让读者看到了战争的毁灭性。在《投下两片阴影》一书中,卡洛琳必须为她的兄弟们冒生命危险,表现出了无私和勇敢。
