Chapter reviews, analysis, and predictions Chapter 1: Isabel and Ruth attend Miss Mary Finch's funeral and try to talk to hteir mom's ghost to figure out what they should do. I thought this chapter was pretty boring because it did not talk about much and it was very short. I predict that they will get sold to a new owner because they have nowhere else to go.

Chapter 2: Iabel tries to tell Pastor Weeks and Mr. Roberts that she and her sister are now free because thier owner died and she signed a paper that said once she died they were free. Even though she kepps telling them this, they do not believe her. In this chapter, i think that it was kind of interesting that they Pastor Weeks and Mr. Roberts did not believe in the girls. I predict that they will get sold even though they say that they are free.

Chapter 3: Isabel and Ruth are sold to Mr. and Mrs. Lockton. They also meet a women named Jenny who knew thier mother when she was still alive. Jenny tries to buy them before the Locktons do but the Locktons make a offer that Jenny could not beat.

I predict that the girls will not know what they have gotten themselves into and then they will realize that the Locktons are very mean and strict.

Chapter 4: Isabel and Ruth start their trip on a ship to New York which is where the Locktons live. I didn't really like this chapter because i thought it was boring and it didn't talk about very much. I predict that the Lockton's will be very strict with Isabel and Ruth.

Chapter 5: The girls arrive in New York and watch as many people unpack ships. They soon find out what they are in for with Mrs. Lockton becasue she slapped Isabel when Ruth made a sound. I liked this chapter becasue it was the first time the girls have ever been to New York and also, we got to see how harsh Mrs. Lockton really is.

Chapter 6: Isabel meets a boy named Cruzon. He tells her that she needs to spy on Mr Lockton and find out where he keeps the paper currency. Also, when she finds out she has to sneek out in the middle of the night and let him know where it is. I liked this chapter because i think it adds more supense to the story because we now know that Isabel has to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night which might get her into a lot of trouble. I predct that ISabel will find the informtion that Cruzon wants and then try to sneak out but she will get caught.

She informs Isabel on what her chores are and warns her that is she doesnt do her chores, there will be a major punishment from Mrs. Lockton.

I predict that with all the work that Isabel has to do, there will be no time for her to be with Ruth and they will become seperated.

Chapter 8: Isabel continues to work in the kitchen at the Lockton's house. Becky tells Isabel that Mrs. Lockton has made Ruth into a curiosity. i thought that this chapter was kind of sad because Isabel finds out that she will not get to be with Ruth at all times because she is now working with Mrs. Lockton and Isabel is working in the kitche. I predict that isabel will try to do whatever sge can to get back together with Ruth.

Also, Isabel serves Mr. Lockton and the men that are in the room with him and she finds out that they keep the paper currency in the very bottom of Mrs. Lockton's linen chest. I liked this chapter because it made me think about why Ruth was crying and we found out where the paper currency is.

Chapter 10: Isabel tries to figure out why Ruth was crying but Ruth won't tell her. Then she sneaks out in the middle of the night to tell Cruzon what she foung out about the money.

I predict that she will tell Cruzon where the currency is and then he will try to steal it.

Chapter 11: A group of men show up at the Lockton house and go into the library to look for the money. They could not find it because it was in the very bottom of the linen chest but Mr. Lockton was arrested anyways for putting peoples lives in danger.

Chapter 15: The screaming that Isabel hears is Mrs Lockton. Ruth had a seizure and Mrs. Lockton thought that the devil was taking over her body.

Chapter 17: Ruth is not allowed to serve Mrs. Lockton anymore because she thinks that Ruth is a demon child. Also, Mr. Lockton finds out that his plan has been uncovered an he is then taken away. I thought this chapter was ok. I thought this because it was kind of obvious what was going to happen and it didn't suprise me at all. I predict that Mrs. Lockton will sell Ruth because she is scared that she really is a demon child.

Chapter 18: Becky, Isabela and Ruth go Broadway to attend the hanging of Thomas Hickey, the man who almost assassinated General George Washington.

A week after the hanging, Becky got very ill. I liked this chapter because I didn't know why she was having mood swings which made me think. I predict that somehow Mrs. Lockton will start to be nicer to the girls because of her mood swings and that Becky will die for her illness.

Chapter 30: Mrs. Lockton treated Isabel like a donkey the next day and she expected her to stay up the entire night because she wanted rolls for breakfast and she couldn't buy them because all of the bakers were rebels so they all ran away.

Then a plan invaded ISabels mind and she did not like it very much. I didn't like this chapter very much because I thought it was kind of boring and i didnt think it had very much excitment. I predict that Isabel is going to try to help the rebels so they don't die.

Chapter 35: Isabel waited three days to sneak over to the prison. She new that if she did this that the Locktons would beat her until she was bloody. She wanted to save them, especially Cruzon.

Isabel went back to se Cruzon but this time she could not get into the prison so she had to talk to him through a window.

Chapter 39: Isabel went back to the prison and Sarah promised not to tell. When she got there she heard cheering and clapping. The rebels attacked instead of running and they had won the battle. I like this chapter because i was happy that the rebels won and maybe Isabel will vecome reunited with her only friend again.

Chapter 40: Right after New Years the rebels won another battle in New Jersey. I didn't really like this chapter because i thought there was not a lot of information and it just talked about the rebels victory. I predict that the rebels will continue to win and then Isable will be free.
