The Scarlet Stockings Spy

The Scarlet Stockings Spy by Trinka Hakes Noble is a pathetic realistic fiction book about a young girl who secretly gives messages to her brother who is a soldier in Boston named Jonathan. The main character is Maddy Rose a unique, secret spy girl who is very intelligent. The main problem is that there is battles and general Washington need information from Maddy Rose, and Maddy rose suffers a big loss in her life. This  story always kept me on my edge of my seat wondering who’s going to win a battle or if someone is going to die. Maddy Rose is a really interesting character who is spying on a country, how cool is that! The Scarlet Stockings Spy always had suspense. You always had had to infer what was going to happen. The plot was very unexpected because Maddy Rose’ s mom was always calm during the toughest times. The setting was in Philadelphia, and I have been to Philadelphia so I could relate to the story. The story made me feel very glad that I'm living in a more peaceful world where there is less war. ​-Jared​
