Description:

Thirteen-year-old Isabel and her little sister Ruth were promised freedom when their owner died — but instead, they're cruelly sold to the Locktons, a New York couple who support the British as America fights for independence. When Isabel meets Curzon, an enslaved boy working for the Patriots, she's pulled into a dangerous world of spying and secrets, risking everything for a chance at freedom. Powerful and deeply moving, this award-winning historical novel asks a striking question: if a whole nation can fight for its freedom, why not a girl? A gripping story about courage, family, and the true cost of liberty.
