Illustrated by
Marsha Gray Carrington.
In this story, illustrated with lighthearted cartoons, eleven-year-old John Jacob and his father transport the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia into hiding during the British siege of 1777. The frame of the story--John Jacob telling his siblings about the adventure and swearing them to secrecy--seems unnecessary. The historical note is useful in relating fiction to facts.
