SOPHIA'S WAR
AVI
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
In 1776, young Sophia Calderwood witnesses the execution of Nathan Hale in New York City, which is newly
occupied by the British army. Sophia is horrified by the event and resolves to do all she can to help the American
cause. Recruited as a spy, she becomes a maid in the home of General Clinton, the supreme commander of the
British forces in America. Through her work she becomes aware that someone in the American army might be
switching sides, and she uncovers a plot that will grievously damage the Americans if it succeeds. But the
identity of the would-be traitor is so shocking that no one believes her, and so Sophia decides to stop the
treacherous plot herself, at great personal peril: She’s young, she’s a girl, and she’s running out of time. And if
she fails, she’s facing an execution of her own.

OLIVER, LAUREN
Looking across the breakfast table one morning, twelve-year-old Liza feels dread wash over her. Although her

to the spindlers’ nests is riddled with danger. She must brave tree snakes, the Court of Stones, and shapeshifting
serpents before facing her greatest challenge in the spindlers’ lair ...
