Under a Shooting Star — Maxine Trottier

It is 1812 and Edward MacNeil's task is simple: escort Kate and Anne Kimmerling home to America, then travel to his uncle's cabin to wait out the war. But a vicious storm on Lake Erie leaves Edward and the girls shipwrecked on an island and caught in the midst of the conflict. Half British, half Oneida, Edward's loyalties are already divided, but his growing affection for an American makes his path even more unclear. As Edward finds his way, he comes to learn that courage, friendship, and love know no bounds.

For more of the MacNeils' adventures, look for the first two books in the Circle of Silver Chronicles, "A Circle of Silver" and "By the Standing Stone."
