Bookroo's summary

In 1864, twelve-year-old Charlotte, a former slave, lives on a Virginia plantation owned by Miss Van Lew, a secret Union sympathizer. When Charlotte discovers her mistress's espionage activities, she eagerly joins the cause, hoping to help free 400 Union soldiers. But her involvement could either save lives or put them all in grave danger. As the Civil War rages, Charlotte must navigate the perilous path of espionage, risking everything for the chance at freedom and justice. Will her courage be enough to change the course of history?

From the publisher

In 1864 twelve-year-old former slave Charlotte is lucky enough to live on a plantation near Richmond, Virginia, owned by a Miss Van Lew, who hates slavery, and when Charlotte overhears a conversation she realizes that her mistress is gathering information and passing it on to the Union army; Charlotte is eager to help, (especially since her own cousin, Mary, is involved) but her enthusiasm may endanger them all–or help free 400 Union soldiers who are being moved from Richmond further south.
