Customer Reviews

Very good book.

This book tells of the adventures of Barbara Anne, a young girl livin in Maryland during the American Revolution. Barbara is lost in the woods when she stumbles upon a secret meeting of Patriots. Even though she is a Patriot they take her for a Tory spy. Barbara Anne keeps their secret so they can let her go home. Later she becomes friends with the daughter of one of the men. The reason this book didn't get a 10 was it could have been a little better.
