I wish I had read this as a child! It tells a fascinating part of US history.

Short and sweet. Interesting bit of history. Didn't realize this was intended for a juvenile audience.

The book is an adorable size and the topic is interesting, I just couldn’t get into it. Maybe I should have read it when I was more mentally alert. It is the short story of how George Washington used his spy skills to win the Revolutionary War. He did some sneaky, tricky things! Some of the names started to blend together and remembering all the pieces and how they fit was not as easy as I would have liked. Kids and adults who like history or intrigue would enjoy this read.

Meh. There was a war. There were spies. Spies helped win the war. It's not really something I'm personally interested in. There's a large cast of characters that's easy to get mixed up if you're not super paying attention (guilty) and I connect more with stories and books that feature one or twi main characters and their stories.

HOWEVER, for teens who love military history or who are really into spy tactics and double agents and that sort of thing, this is a great book to hand them. It would also be a great book to include when studying the Revolutionary War, examining one piece in detail while students can connect dates and battles to what they're studying in class.
