In this sequel to George Washington's Socks, Matt, his sister Katie, and their friends are thrown back in time to 1776 Boston. Katie and the girls end up with a Loyalist family while the boys are commandeered to participate in a Patriot spy mission. Despite some plot contrivances, Woodruff effectively approaches the human tragedy of war without losing her story's light touch.
