A Girl Called Samson is based on a true story about a girl who disguised herself as a man to serve in the Continental Army in the American Revolution. Samson (known as Robert Shurtliff in the army) served as an aide to General John Paterson (who mainly fought in New York and Philadelphia). Don’t skip the author’s note at the end 🙂

Age Recommendation:

While I enjoyed A Girl Called Samson, this is NOT a book I would put in your classroom library. Even though it sticks remarkably close to the true story, there is content that is inappropriate for high school students.
