Anna Strong and the Revolutionary War Culper Spy Ring: A Spy on History Book by Enigma Alberti
geekwayne's review against another edition
4.0
'Anna Strong and the Revolutionary War Culper Spy Ring' by Enigma Alberti with illustrations by Laura Terry is part of the Spy on History series of chapter books for young readers.
When British soldiers arrest Selah Strong, they think they are arresting a spy, but there is another spy in the house. Soon Anna is helping Abraham and Ben Talmadge to be spies for George Washington. They become the group that helps inform on Benedict Arnold's treason.
This was a really fun read. The actual book comes with a spycraft kit and there is a code to crack. I also liked the historical notes at the end of the book. This would be a great book for young history buffs and it's an exciting story.

Quick Summary: A young readers time machine to history
My Review: Anna Strong and the Revolutionary War Culper Spy Ring written by Enigma Alberti and illustrated by Laura Terry is associated with the Spy on History series. It is a National Treasure-esque story highlighting the feats of an American Revolution spy ring.
My Final Say: This book, just like Mary Bowser's book, is a superb example of why learning history is so important. Middle grade readers will definitely appreciate the approach taken in this work.
Rating: 5/5

Appreciation is extended to the author, to the publisher, and to NetGalley. Thank you for granting access to this book.

**I received an advanced copy of this book for review courtesy of Netgalley. My opinion is my own.**
I loved this book! But then again, I love this whole series. I knew of Anna Strong from the show Turn on AMC, so I was really excited to delve into this book and see what it had to say. My history loving heart couldn't be more overjoyed. This is going to be great to use in my homeschooling classroom when my students are just a bit older! The story is easy to read and follow, the cover is gorgeous, the illustrations really bring the entire thing together. 5 out of 5 stars. I can't say enough honestly. I'm just so excited and want to learn more about this woman now! Thank you, Netgalley and Workman Publishing!

Cute. A pretty good novelization of a possible storyline the Culper ring, although it incorrectly quotes Nathan Hale's last words in one of the ilustrations (the "... but one life to give for my county" line is actually from Cato). Good for kids interested in history.
