(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jeff Crosby & Shelley Ann Jackson. Basing his text on historical accounts, Castrovilla weaves a daring tale of espionage during the Revolutionary War. Relying on the Culper Spy Ring's information, General Washington outsmarts the British, thwarting their plan to attack the French who are secretly gathering at Newport to assist the Americans. Muted acrylic illustrations, some stiffly composed, add authenticity to the well-researched, though wordy, text. Timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
