Review

"The political complexities of Isabel’s dilemma never get in the way of a heart-racing story, and the hopeful but uncertain ending leaves readers on a note of realism."

"Anderson's novel is remarkable for its strong sense of time and place and for its nuanced portrait of slavery and of New York City during the Revolutionary War."

Publisher's note

When her former owner breaks his promise to set her free and ends up sending her to live with a cruel loyalist family at the start of the Revolutionary War, Isabel is heartbroken and so becomes determined to do whatever is necessary to win her freedom, including spying on her family to help the rebels win the war. 50,000 first printing.

Annotation

Isabel and her five-year-old sister Ruth are slaves owned by a Loyalist couple living in New York City in this novel set during the Revolutionary War. Dismayed by the conditions of her life, Isabel decides to seek freedom for herself and Ruth by becoming a spy for the rebel armies. However, she soon learns that even those fighting for independence for themselves are not to be trusted when it comes to ensuring the freedom of slaves. This book was named a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award in the Young People’s Literature category.
