                               Sophia is living in the Revolutionary War. And she is on the Patriot's side, living in occupied New York. Occupied by the British. Wearing a red ribbon everywhere so she will not be shot, she must be careful of who she talks to, and who she can trust. One phrase is running around in her mind, no one can trust anyone. And she feels it is true. Once she learns of the whereabouts of her brother William, who is fighting with the Patriots, life is meaningless. And the fact that her heart has been captured by a young BRITISH officer by the name of John Andre. With her heart betraying her, she has no idea what to do. Finally, she accepts an offer to become a spy for George Washington. And what she learns is shocking, but what is even more shocking is that she is the only person who can stop it. What will she do? Stand by and let the war go sideways? What does she have to lose?
                                I loved loved loved loved loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooooooooo amazing. And I personally think it deserves a higher lexile. It was written from a Patriot's side of view, in a time when it was most dangerous to be a Patriot. Not that it isn't bad now too. BOO deflatriot's!!! :) Anyway, this book was awesome! Just seeing how brave she was made me want to do something selfless. Imagine how scary, and how real the risk would've been back then! I would recommend this book to 5th grade and up. It was awesome! You should really try this book out in your free time! Or make time for it! Because it is that good!
