Spy for the revolution in this interactive book where YOU decide what happens next! Packed with 19 possible endings!
Choose Your Own Adventure books–the 4th bestselling children’s series of all time–now include historical fiction, in which you’re an actual historic spy! Kids and adults agree, these are the books that get 9- to 12-year-olds reading.
The year is 1781 and George Washington is commanding thousands of troops in Yorktown, Virginia, on the brink of the most important battle of the war. YOU are James Armistead, a brave and literate enslaved person in Virginia. Marquis de Lafayette, one of Washington’s key officers, approaches you with the most critical choice of your life: Do you join the Revolutionary army as a top secret spy or find freedom on your own terms? As a spy for the revolution, you might change the course of history, but whose liberty will you really be fighting for? Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death.
