Description

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 lend a hand 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 The us. Through her work she becomes aware that anyone in the American army could be switching sides, and she uncovers a plot so as to grievously damage the Americans if it succeeds. But the identity of the would-be traitor is so shocking that no person believes her, and so Sophia comes to a decision 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 will also be in this “nail-biting thriller” (Publishers Weekly) that may be wealthy in historical detail and rife with action.
