Bookroo's summary
In a turbulent Boston, twelve-year-old Daniel becomes a secret spy, slipping crucial information past British soldiers. With his father fighting for the Patriots, Daniel must navigate danger and betrayal. Can he overcome his fears to aid the cause of liberty, or will the risks prove too great? As tensions rise, Daniel's courage and cunning are tested in a battle for freedom.
From the publisher
Twelve-year-old Daniel cheered when American colonists dumped English tea into Boston Harbor to protest taxes. But King George sends soldiers to punish the rebellious colonists, and friends turn on one another to protect themselves. Daniel works in the family tavern and spies on Redcoat officers after his father leaves to fight with the Patriots. He soon learns how to slip vital information across British lines to his father and General Washington. He must face his fear and put his life in danger. But, to a Patriot, liberty is well worth any risk.
