Review by Jenna
When Revolutionary War Patriot Lamberton Clark is shot by
British soldiers while on a mission for the Continental Army, he has only two
hopes of getting the secret message he’s carrying to General George Washington:
his 14-year-old twin boys John and Ambrose. Upon discovering that their father
is a spy in the Culper Spy Ring, the boys accept their mission without a clue
about what they may be up against. They set off from Connecticut
to New Jersey
to find General Washington, but the road to the commander-in-chief of the
Continental Army is full of obstacles; including the man who shot their father
who is hot on their trail.
PATRIOTS, REDCOATS AND SPIES is a father and son writing
team. This book, PATRIOTS, REDCOATS AND SPIES, is loosely based on a true story
about their ancestor, Lamberton Clark.
I loved this book. It was awesome. It had a lot of suspense
and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn’t want to put this book down.
Lamberton Clark is a great dad and pretty courageous. The
twin boys were silly and acted like normal brothers, even with little fights. I
was worried they’d get caught and they would be in trouble. I had to keep
reading to find out what happens.
Recommended for anyone who likes historical adventure
stories. For tweens, ages 8 – 12 years.
Available in ebook and hardcover. 192 pages.
