When their Revolutionary War patriot father is shot by British soldiers while on a mission for the Continental Army, it falls to 14-year-old twins John and Ambrose to deliver the secret message their dad was carrying to General George Washington. As the boys set off from Connecticut to New Jersey to find General Washington, they discover the road to the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army is full of obstacles—including the man who shot their father, who is determined to stop the message no matter what.

Discussion questions, letters by George Washington, and a glossary can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
