"Patriots, Redcoats and Spies" by Robert J. Skead is a fun to read book!! I enjoyed reading it outloud to the family after eating dinner. It really held everyone's attention!!
It starts out with the twins, Ambrose & John with their father, Lamberton Clark, running away from the redcoats. Their dad, Lamberton, had been shot by the redcoats. He has an important message that must be taken as soon as possible to General George Washington. The message is written in invisible ink. Their dad tells them to trust no one, and to stick together. Even though the twins look alike, they couldn't be more diverse in their attitude and personality. Will they get the message to General Washington in time?? Will they be caught and discovered as patriot spies??
We really enjoyed this book! It was fun to see the interaction between the two brothers. It is a fun read aloud to the whole family. Even though the language wasn't true to that era, it made it reading easy, and enjoyable to the family. I think the family would have cringed if it was outdated verbiage.
I received this hardcover book free from the publisher for my honest review.
