Illustrated by Robert Papp
Philadelphia 1777 is no place for the faint of heart. The rumble
of war with the British grows louder each day, and spies for and
against the Patriots are everywhere. No one is above suspicion.
Still, everyday life must go on and young Maddy Rose must help her
mother, especially since her father's death at the Battle of
Princeton and now with her beloved brother Jonathan off with
Washington's army. But when childhood games become life-and-death
actions, Maddy Rose is drawn ever deeper into events that will
explode beyond her imagining. As young America stands on the very
brink of its fight for freedom, it becomes clear that even the
smallest of citizens can play the largest of parts, and that the
role of a patriot has nothing to do with age and everything to do
with heart. In "The Scarlet Stockings Spy," Trinka Hakes Noble
melds a suspenseful tale of devotion, sacrifice, and patriotism
with the stark realities of our country's birth.
Noted picture book author and illustrator Trinka Hakes Noble has
pursued the study of children's book writing and illustrating in
New York City at Parsons School of Design, the New School
University, Caldecott medalist Uri Shulevitz's Greenwich Village
Workshop, and New York University. She has authored and illustrated
numerous books including the popular Jimmy's Boa series, which has
been translated into six languages. Trinka lives in Berrnardsville,
New Jersey. "The Scarlet Stockings Spy" is her first book with
Sleeping Bear Press.
Because Robert Papp's childhood drawings of his favorite
superheros were such a pleasure, it was only natural that he would
wind up an illustrator. Nowadays, his award-winning artwork
appearson book covers and in magazines instead of on the
refrigerator. He has produced hundreds of cover illustrations for
major publishers across the United States. Robert lives in historic
Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
