 Fun to read. January 20, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book was about a kid named John, and he was a spy for General Washington. I liked this book because the pictures were cool. They were very colorful. I learned some things about the Revolutionary War from reading this book. I learned that buttons could be used to carry secret messages, and that British soldiers hung American spies. I thought that John was really brave. This book makes me want to learn more about the Revolutionary War. I am 8 years old and in 3rd Grade, and this book was easy for me to read.

This easy to read book is great for the 1-3 grader who is studying the Revolutionary War. A family acts as spies for the patriots by smuggling messages. The mother places the messages inside her sons buttons and sews them onto his coat. The young boy then takes them to his brother who is stationed with General Washington. Plenty of colorful illustrations and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat.
