Summary: This book is about a family, among several others who became a spy against the British for George Washington. This book focuses mostly on one family that were spies for him. The back of the book in the author's note gave greater description on how the family spied on the British which made things more clear to understand. This book is very different from the other book of George Washington because the last book was very behind the scenes, where as this book was George Washington in action in the army and then president.

Not a picture-book, but a biography for age 10 up. Plenty of photos and back-matter, though. Such an interesting story... imo it wasn't told as engagingly as it could have been, though. Recommended if you're interested.
