Publisher's Synopsis
"Schweizer's limber figures and quick jabsof slapstick goofing give this graphic novel a deceptively light veneer, even aslife-and-death matters are unfolding. It's no easy feat to combine a high-energyhistorical adventure with a smart and nuanced look at the many shades of graythat tint notions of patriotism, loyalty, and family ties, but Schweizer doesjust that. Educators looking to add an energizing bit of spice to discussionsabout the American Revolution should take notice." - Booklist(STARRED
" Schweizer once againtells a fantastic tale of heroism in a historic setting that evokes the timeperiod, using the language of the time, which can be quite humorous (such aswhen Will asks Bess' dad if he can 'bundle' with her), and exploringcomplexities of the Revolutionary War that are seldom discussed." -School Library Journal
