I read this back in grade/middle school. The title sort of ruins the suspense at the end.

Way to bury the lede with the title.

This was a pretty fascinating look at the Tory side of the Revolutionary War set in CT.

There is a significant amount of cursing in this book, which I found odd for the targeted age range. It didn't bother me as an adult, I just found it odd.

Nice read, some perspective I hadn't seen before, attention to detail in realistic historical fiction appreciated. Didn't ‘stand out' to me in remembering anything particular of note.
