Phoebe the Spy

This was one of the first books my daughter was fascinated by in our history curriculum and it just so happens that I had chosen it to substitute something else. Best decision I made in substitution. It is a fantastic book based in real facts (though I'm not sure to what extent) that my daughter could engage in but also that helped her interact with history in a way that now she knows some of the challenges of the time, some information of the character of George Washington as well as the dynamic of the issue of slavery and race in the time period and a mature way of processing these issues in a way my 6 year old could begin to understand a complex concept.

Excellent educational material for young Black girls and adults alike. Shows us that we were instrumental in every phase of the making of this nation.

Great picture book with historical references. I had never heard of Fraunces Tavern before, now so have visited it.

Good book and story. Used as a gift.

A++

Terrific story. I confess I skipped to the end to see how Phoebe figured out who was the bad guy! Great book.

Quick shipping and great book. The cover of the book received was different but not really a big deal. Loved reading!

My 8 year old loved this book! We've been to Mount Vernon several times but never knew about the information in this book. It is a good store about Washington and history.

I bought this for my granddaughter. Since she lives in New York I thought she and her father could go to see an historic site
