Most girls would be thrilled with the excitement of such a position and the big-city life that comes with it. But to Annie, those things seem like more trouble than they're worth.There's a scary stranger who keeps bothering her, simply because her dad is " important."

Or is dealing with problems by herself part of what it means to " grow up" ?In this third book of the Adventures of the American Revolution series, Susan Olasky gives 8- to 12-year-olds an exciting look at life in the colonies during the time of America's War of Independence.
