George Washington's Socks

          George Washington's Socks was written by Elvira Woodruff, and was published in 1991. It has no illustrator, but is very cleverly written.
           George Washington's Socks is about a boy named Matt and his friends Quentin, Hooter, Tony, and Matt's little sister Katie as they get transported in a boat back in time to the Revolutionary War. Katie is missing, and when they find her, Matt gets separated from his friends! From making friends with patriots and with the enemy, meeting Indians, reuniting with his friends, and  figuring how to get back home, this is a definite read.
              My favorite part of George Washington's Socks is when they find the boat to take them home. They do not know how to get it to work at first. Then Katie said that she wanted to go home. the boat started to vibrate, and they all scramble in. They find themselves sitting on a lake... in the 20th century! They all sit and reflect on what they were just through and then go to their separate homes. Matt realizes what a blessing it is that he lives in a time with no war, a warm place to go, and electronics.
