Drawing on the same courage and bravery she's seen in her patriot father, young Annie Henry is on a secret mission to help bring freedom to America.

Ten-year-old Annie Henry loves her father, but sometimes it's hard to be the daughter of the famous patriot Patrick Henry. War is coming--the Revolutionary War--and it forces Mr. Henry to be away from their plantation for long periods of time.

Annie desperately wants to help him in the cause for liberty, but so many things get in the way: A fire nearly destroys their crops. Her seriously ill mother takes a turn for the worse. Then, Annie falls from a horse and breaks her arm.

Still, she is determined to do her part to bring freedom to this land. With her father's famous words, "Give me liberty or give me death!" ringing in her ears, Annie finally sees how she can help....

In this first book in the Adventures of the American Revolution series, author Susan Olasky provides young readers with an exciting look at life in the colonies during the time of America's War of Independence.
