Leave it to Avi to find a way to help me look at the Revolutionary War from a new perspective. Make that two. Young Noah is the son of a Loyalist and minister, pledged to the King. When local revolutionaries tar and feather his father, the family flees to Boston.
Needing work, Noah finds a job as a British spy and a server in a tavern, where he can easily overhear plans and report on them.
