    FROM SARAH:

    One of my favorite novels for Revolutionary American history. This is what I read with my kids before we took a trip to Boston to visit all the historical sites. I think it's enjoyed best by kids age 9+.

    FROM THE PUBLISHER:

    After injuring his hand, a silversmith's apprentice in Boston becomes a messenger for the Sons of Liberty in the days before the American Revolution.
