It is March, 1775, in Boston. Twelve year-old Daniel Prescott's family owns a tavern that is being used to house British officers. Despite rising tensions between the colonists and the troops, the Prescotts, like most other Bostonians, consider themselves British. But as the year passes and violence erupts at Lexington and Concord, the Prescotts and their friends will all have to choose sides. Daniel's father chooses to leave the city and join General Washington. Will Daniel be brave enough to carry information across British lines that may expose a British spy and save the new army? 160 pages
