The Girl from Cow Neck

By Patricia Collins Schof

Cassandra Scott hasn't seen much hardship in her life. As the daughter of a colonial judge on Long Island, Cassie lives a privileged existence that is marred only by her suspicion of her stepmother, Hannah. Cassie is sometimes foolhardy when it comes to speaking her opinions about the tyranny of the king of England. Hannah, in contrast, seems very sympathetic to the British. When Cassie comes to suspect that her stepmother is actually a spy for the king, she begins working for the other side. Her new friends among the American rebels don't believe that such a pampered person could withstand the danger that comes with spy craft, but Cassie is determined to prove them wrong! As she is pulled deeper into the web of deception and suspicion that permeates much of Revolutionary-era America, she must keep her wits about her. She isn't the only spy on Long Island, and not all of them are on her side. Cassie's sheltered existence is about to implode. This thrilling new young adult novel relies on historical research from author Patricia Collins-Schof to create a portrait of one Long Island teenager who refuses to accept the identity others have given her.
