About This Book

Four youths join the American encampment during the siege of Boston and take part in reconnaissance, secret meetings, and daring missions that bring them into the city and to islands in the bay. Ezra Prentiss emerges from suspicion to prove his loyalty while the boys witness the arrival of a new commander, the hauling of heavy guns from a distant fort, and the tense, costly engagement on Breed's Hill where colonial leaders organize the defense. Episodes weave espionage, night escapes, and urgent rides carrying news, concluding with the battle's aftermath and the boys' continued service.
