Thrilling, dramatic, and true, Anna Strong: A Spy During the American Revolution brings young readers into the tension of real wartime espionage while spotlighting a lesser-known woman who helped change the course of history.
The book also includes an author’s note, bibliography, index, and a spy code so kids can jump into the world of secret messages themselves.
In the shadows of the American Revolution, a quiet signal could be the difference between victory and defeat. Anna Smith Strong (1740–1812) risked everything to help George Washington―not with muskets, but with spycraft.
