Will they amend the Articles of Confederation as instructed? Or are they up to something else? Our tale is brought to us by Henry, a young man from Britain who has been tasked with keeping an eye on what the delegates are up to. He is certain they cannot accomplish what they came to Philidelphia to do Historical fiction - this novel is written at a Young Adult level, but has been enjoyed by adults as well as students, including younger students as a read-aloud. |
