Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Time Period:nbsp; 1775nbsp; When Kate Milton and her cousin happen across the Boston Tea Party, they unwittingly step into the midst of the American Revolution. The eleven-year-old girl finds herself pulled deeper into the conflict by members of her own family-by those who support the Patriot's revolutionary cause and those who believe the colonies should submit to the King in England. When her cousin begins to spy for the Patriots, what should she do? Kate and the Spies uses actual historical events to tell a compelling fictional story-of a girl who must determine the right course of action in a confused and difficult time.
In 1775, in Boston, Massachusetts, as the British siege brings increasing hardships and growing resentment to the community, eleven-year-old Kate decides to go against her Loyalist parents and help her cousin spy for the Patriots.
Ages 8-12.
