This book is about a young girl who becomes an American spy during the American Revolution after losing the brother (who had educated her and explained to her the importance of freedom and the rights every man holds) to the British army. She undergoes many challenges, but the biggest of all comes when she must get an urgent message to the leaders of the American army. A message that, if not received, could lead to the Americans losing the war.
