Save The Powder!: Book One in the Colonial Courage Series

In the bustling streets of 1775 Williamsburg, Virginia, whispers of rebellion fill the air. For twelve-year-old Sam Campbell, it’s just whispers in the wind - until he and his sister Mary stumble upon their father in a secret rebel meeting discussing how to stop the British from stealing Virginia’s vital gunpowder.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson devise a plan to smuggle the powder out of the Magazine, right under the noses of the redcoats. Sam and Mary’s chore of delivering barrels provides the perfect cover for smuggling . . . if the children are brave enough to accept the challenge.

Sam and Mary become the key players in a high-stakes mission which plunges them into a realm of spies, secrets, treason, and peril. Danger lurks around every corner. Who can they trust? A suspicious British sergeant, a mysterious rebel known as Ghost, and relentless British patrols threaten to expose their secrets. The tension rises with each delivery. Can Sam and Mary summon the courage to prove even the youngest patriots can fight for independence?

With action and intrigue reminiscent of Alan Gratz, Avi, and Elvira Woodruff, this riveting adventure in the new Colonial Courage series will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
