Publisher's Synopsis
The little town of Lyme looks very peaceful when Ann and William arrive there with their mother one spring day in 1644. Surely they have escaped from the war? But the town is besieged, and the king's soldiers are under orders to teach Lyme's rebellious people a lesson. Ann and William must choose. Whose side will they be on? That Rebellious Towne is one of eleven books that make up Extended Reading Level A, for children in Year 5/Primary 6. This phase of Cambridge Reading has an increased provision of extended narratives and aims to develop children's knowledge about language, its vocabulary, forms, structures and styles.
