[Carrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A YA read - it was very quick.

[Noah · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a historical fiction novel that I would recommend for late elementary school students. Miss Emily Parker lives in Boston during the Revolutionary War era. Her family is devoted to the Patriot cause, but she thinks her neighbors are British spies. She goes on many quests to find out. I rate this book 3 out of 5 because of its interesting historical content. This book has themes of family, mystery, and adventure.
