Item description for Kate and the Spies: The American Revolution (Sisters in Time) by JoAnn Grote...
Associating with a Patriot spy is a risky thing in revolutionary Boston. Of course, the spy is her own cousin--and members of her family have strongly differing opinions on whether or not to support the war.
Eleven-year-old Kate faces a terrible dilemma: determining which side she'll choose in the American Revolution. Either way is filled with peril... and she'll need God's wisdom to select the right course of action in a confused and difficult time.
Let the Sisters in Time take you back to the 1770s--where you may find that Kate Milton isn't that much different than you! Historical fiction for girls ages 8 to 12.
This story is based on (and very similar to) The American Revolution from the American Adventure Series.

 | A Wonderful Option.... May 14, 2008 |
Kate and the Spies: The American Revolution (1775) (Sisters in Time #6)
This is a wonderful option instead of the classic Johnny Tremain. Kate and the Spies covers the same time frame as the classic, but the language is more modern and more easily understandable for 5th through 7th graders. Also, the story does a better job exploring the relationships between loyalists and patriots and the problems families and colonists faced during the time prior to the Revolutionary War. | | |  | Drew my attention into the book Feb 5, 2008 |
Reviewed by Anneliese Buenker (age 9) for Reader Views (2/08)
"Kate and the Spies" is about a girl named Kate. Kate lives in Boston during the start of the Revolutionary War. Her cousins are patriots but her whole family supports the loyalists and she doesn't know which one to choose. When she is dragged along to the Boston Tea Party, life suddenly becomes a lot more complicated.
I loved the book because it drew my attention into the book. I like books that do that so I read "Kate and the Spies" almost immediately.
| | | | Good historical fiction set in Colonial times. Sep 25, 2004 |
The American colonies lie on the brink of revolution, and eleven-year-old Kate Milton is torn between the two sides of the approaching conflict. Her parents are firm Loyalists, and her father, a doctor, believes it is his duty as an Englishman to obey the law, even if he disagrees with it. Kate thinks some of what the Loyalists say make sense. But her other relatives, including her cousin, Colin, who is her closest friend, are all Patriots, and some of what they say makes sense to Kate, too. When Kate witnesses the Boston Tea Party in December 1773, it just leaves her more confused. Over the next year and a half, Kate struggles with what role to take in the war that seems certain to come, especially when the British government punishes Boston harshly for the destruction of the tea and British soldiers occupy the city.
Young readers who enjoy stories set in Colonial times will most likely enjoy this book, however it's not a must-read. The characters were likable, but I felt they needed a little more development. I plan to try some other books in this series to see what they are like. | | | Write your own review about Kate and the Spies: The American Revolution (Sisters in Time)
