358 pages ; 22 cm "As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about, preparing for one of the New York society's biggest events: the Schuylers' grand ball. Descended from the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country's founding families, and even prouder still of their three daughters--Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival those of both her sisters, though she'd rather be aiding the colonists' cause than dressing up for some silly ball. Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington's right-hand man. Though Alex has arrived as the bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can't believe his luck--as an orphan, and a bastard one at that--to be in such esteemed company. And when Alex and Eliza meet on that fateful night so begins an epic love story that would forever change the course of American history."-- juvenile Melissa de la Cruz. n-us--- n-us-ny Hamilton, Alexander 1757-1804 Juvenile fiction Hamilton, Elizabeth Schuyler 1757-1854 Juvenile fiction United States History Revolution, 1775-1783 Juvenile fiction PZ7.D36967 Al 2017 [Fic] 9781524739621 1524739626 FMG 170331 20190502001531.0 6154475 eng
