3.5 Stars - though I rounded it to 4 stars for goodreads.
A well-written story overall. It kept me wanting more the whole time, even though Avi succeeded to hit more than one pet peeve of mine.
Sophia (the main character) becomes infatuated at age twelve with John Andre (a person who actually existed during this time frame). While I didn't mind the infatuation in itself, the fact that it was so drawn out bothered me to no end.
Avi uses the infatuation as a way to create a war inside of Sophia. Does she do what she considers right for her country or does she follow her attraction to Mr. Andre? I found this to be horribly cliche.
Otherwise, the book was very well written. Avi certainly has much talent in telling stories.
