The Secret of Sarah Revere
by Ann Rinaldi
Buy the book from:
Thirteen-year-old Sarah Revere knows that her father carries messages for Boston’s patriot leaders but not what dangers his work creates. As tension builds toward Lexington and Concord, she tries to discover the identity of a secret informant and understand the risks faced by Joseph Warren and other people close to her family.
The novel places Paul Revere’s famous ride inside a larger network of couriers, committees and confidential sources. Sarah’s perspective makes political commitment a family burden as well as a heroic public act, and the approach of Bunker Hill forces her to recognise that intelligence and warning cannot prevent every loss.
