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. As the boys set off from Connecticut to New Jersey to find General Washington, they discover the road to the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army is full of obstacles--including the redcoat who shot their father and who is determined to stop the message no matter what.
