When the American Revolution arrives in Thomas Strongs sleepy Long Island village, his life is turned upside down. His church becomes a fort for the British, and a company of Redcoats are quartered in his familys home. But worst of all, his father is arrested as a traitor and taken away. Its no wonder that Thomass mother seems to have been affected in the head. She washes and rewashes handkerchiefs and petticoats so that her clothesline is continually full of laundry. The errands on which she sends Thomas are not only peculiar but dangerous, since they take him right past a Redcoat encampment. At first Thomas doesnt know what to make of his mothers behavior, but as he keeps his eyes and ears open, he begins to suspect that things are not necessarily as they seem. Katherine Kirkpatricks captivating story is based on the Culper Spy Ring, which operated on Long Island and in Connecticut from 1778 1783. Its purpose was to send messages to General George Washington about the activities of the British Army in New York City. Ronald Himlers dramatic watercolor illustrations bring this pivotal period of U.S. history to life for contemporary readers. Katherine Kirkpatrick grew up near Setauket in Stony Brook, New York. She first learned of Anna (Nancy) Strongs role in the Culper Spy Ring from Strongs greatgreatgranddaughter, Kate Strong, whom she interviewed for a fourthgrade project. Kirkpatrick has published eight books for children and young adults, both fiction and nonfiction. She lives in Seattle, Washington. Visit her at http://katherinekirkpatrick.com . Ronald Himler has illustrated over a hundred books for children. His paintings also appear in art galleries throughout the Southwest, where he is highly acclaimed for his portraits of the Plains Indians. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.
