The title of the book I read is called Sophia’s War and it is by Avi. The setting is in Sophia’s house in New York and a few other places around there and it takes place from 1776 to 1780. Some important characters are Sophia, her parents, her brother, Mr. Paulding and John Andre. The main problem is that the revolution is happening right now and Sophia’s brother who was fighting for the revolution and got captured just died in prison because the British didn’t give him a lot of food or water and she wants revenge.
One event that changed the story is when Sophia finds out that her brother died. That is important because that is what makes Sophia do everything that she did. Another event that changed the story is that in the beginning her father got a bullet in his shoulder and they needed money. So she worked, it was really unusual for girls to work back then. One big decision Sophia makes is to work for another man to be sort of like a spy. The main problem did get resolved because Sophia’s brother died and she wanted revenge and that is what she got. Also because we won the revolution not England.
I enjoyed this book but I also didn’t. I liked it because I think that she is really brave and when she got scared she just pushed it behind her. Another reason I liked it is because I think it is interesting that it is about a real person who actually did this. But the reason I didn’t like it is because in the beginning it was sort of slow. But it was not slow the whole book. A kind of reader who would enjoy this book is a person who likes history. They would like this book because it is nonfiction. I would rate this book 4 out of five stars.
