Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction with real stakes and a protagonist who has to think her way out of danger rather than rely on adults to save her
You want a page-turner set during the American Revolution that focuses on espionage and personal courage rather than battles
You appreciate Avi's ability to make historical settings feel immediate and urgent, with genuine tension about whether the main character will survive

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer action-heavy plots over psychological cat-and-mouse games and careful spy tradecraft
You're looking for a coming-of-age romance—this is survival first, relationships second
You need books with extensive world-building or magical elements; this is grounded historical fiction

About this book

In 1776, young Sophia Calderwood witnesses the execution of Nathan Hale in British-occupied New York City. Horrified by what she sees, she resolves to support the American cause. Recruited as a spy, Sophia becomes a maid in the home of General Clinton, the supreme commander of British forces in America. Through her position, she discovers that someone in the American army may be defecting to the British side and uncovers a plot that could severely damage the American forces. When Sophia learns the identity of the potential traitor, no one believes her account. Facing this obstacle and aware of the grave danger she faces, she decides to stop the plot herself. As a young girl with limited time and resources, she risks execution if she fails.
