Interesting, insightful and informative book with lovely illustrations

Although I am not the target audience to this story, which is why I don't think I enjoyed it as much, I think it was a great story. It is based on a true story of a boy who became a spy for George Washington against the British. It is a beginner's chapter book accompanied by some very colorful illustrations. I think boys will like the story more, but that doesn't mean that girls won't like it just as much. It is well written, and I think it would do well at school as well as at home.
