| The Adventure Club is transported by rowboat back in time to the American Revolution where 10-year-old Matt and friends get caught up in a Patriot spy ring while his younger sister and her friends are rescued by a Loyalist family. The boys are immediately sympathetic to the Patriot cause and agree to help deliver a message concerning the Battle of Dorchester. The girls, on the other hand, are horrified to be staying with “the enemy,” but who is right and who is wrong becomes more complex as the story unfolds. |

George Washington's Spy by Elvira Woodruff
In class, we've begun reading George Washington's Spy by Elvira Woodruff.
We are in the middle of Chapter 2 and the story is being set. We know that these are present day children, with homework over the weekend, a most cruel and unusual punishment. They are to prepare a report on the Battle of Dorchester and try to understand Loyalists to the British Crown. I am interested to know how exactly they travel back in time. My prediction is that it may have to do with the really old book they are using to study or maybe the broken spy glass. Hmmm...I can't wait to find out!

Yes Maya the kids got into a time travel boat but no Dylan I don't know if they're going to die before they get home. The book is setting that up as a possibility but usually the main characters don't die...if they do, the story dies with them. So, I don't know...I guess sudden death by bayonet is possible but unlikely. Does that make sense?
