Here’s a hint for the June Once Upon a Book Club Young Adult Box…..
Our June Young Adult hint is HERE!.
During the American Revolution, General George Washington employed a ring of spies in and around New York City, the headquarters for the British war effort in North America. These spies identified themselves in their letters by code numbers. One was known as “355,” which stood for “lady.” To date, her true identity remains unknown.
A girl was to know little about the war between England and its thirteen colonies, for war is not to be discussed by women. Yet when a terrible shipwreck off the coast of her home in Grand Bahama Island presents the opportunity to escape her brutal stepfather and flee into a life of high society, she takes it.
Assuming the identity of a girl who drowned, she is rescued by a British merchant ship and sails with the crew to New York. For the next three years, she lives a lie, swept up in a courtship with a dashing British lieutenant, and living the life her late mother had always dreamed of for her. But after witnessing the darker side of the war, she realizes that her position gives her power. Soon she finds herself eavesdropping on British officers and risking everything to pass information on to George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring as Agent 355. .
She believes in the fight for American liberty – but what will it cost her?.
Inspired by the true “355” and rich in historical detail and intrigue, this is the story of an unlikely New York society girl turned an even unlikelier spy.
