The bully boys / Eric Walters.

Summary:

The Bully Boys tells the story of fourteen-year-old Thomas Roberts, who finds himself looking after the family farm when his father goes off to fight for the British army during the War of 1812. When Thomas inadvertently stumbles upon some American soldiers who are attempting to rob a local store, his quick thinking and bravery save the day. His actions catch the eye of the war's most famous officer - Lieutenant James FitzGibbon, leader of the unit dubbed the Green Tigers or "Bully Boys." Tommy realizes that this is his chance to escape the drudgery of the farm and join the 'real' men.
