Lives hang in the balance in this gripping Revolutionary War
adventure from a beloved Newbery Medalist.
In 1776, young Sophia Calderwood witnesses the execution of Nathan
Hale in New York City, which is newly occupied by the British army.
Sophia is horrified by the event and resolves to do all she can to
help the American cause. Recruited as a spy, she becomes a maid in
the home of General Clinton, the supreme commander of the British
forces in America. Through her work she becomes aware that someone
in the American army might be switching sides, and she uncovers a
plot that will grievously damage the Americans if it succeeds. But
the identity of the would-be traitor is so shocking that no one
believes her, and so Sophia decides to stop the treacherous plot
herself, at great personal peril: She s young, she s a girl, and
she s running out of time. And if she fails, she s facing an
execution of her own.
Master storyteller Avi shows exactly how personal politics can be
in this nail-biting thriller (Publishers Weekly) that is rich in
historical detail and rife with action.
