Regina Silsby's Secret War by Thomas U. Brodeur (248 pages)

 Summary

Everything is peaceful in the Winslow household until Captain Dudley and his soldiers decide to board in their house. Rachel Winslow hears Dudley's plan to capture the Sons of Liberty, which includes her brother!! So she decides to save them by masquerading as her great-aunt, Regina Silsby, who died mysteriously thirty years ago. During her bold adventures, Dudley arrests somebody as a trap to capture Rachel. Can she avoid this trap or will she be discovered?

Opinion 

We read this book in class and then were assigned to do a diorama. I chose the arresting scene for my diorama. Overall, this book was really good because it was eventful, action-packed and filled with suspense. Although my favorite character was Rachel because she was both courageous and daring, Grandfather was also an interesting character because he was rather sneaky, very smart and definitely kind. If you're looking for a book that dates back to the 1700's and is both mystifying and adventurous, try this one.
