About this listen

When their father is injured, twins John and Ambrose must deliver a crucial secret message to General George Washington, facing danger from both the war raging around them and a British soldier who is hot on their trail. Based on the real Culper Spy Ring, book one of the American Revolutionary War Adventures historical fiction series is a fun way for children to experience American history.

When their patriot father is shot by British soldiers while on a mission for the Continental Army, it falls to 14-year-old twins John and Ambrose to deliver the secret message their dad was carrying to General George Washington.
