About this title

From Booklist:

In Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1776, strong sentiments for the Patriot cause make life difficult and sometimes dangerous for those suspected of having Loyalist sympathies. When anonymous broadsides malign and threaten their friend Fiona’s father, Felicity and Elizabeth decide to solve the mystery of who is sending them and why. Soon Felicity learns that her own father has a secret and that detective work may be needed to save him as well. As in other American Girl books, the volume ends with an illustrated informational section that explains aspects of the historical background. With the pluck (and luck) of an eighteenth-century Nancy Drew, Felicity lures the culprit to a churchyard at midnight in hopes of discovering vital evidence and helping her beloved father. From the Felicity Mystery series, this inviting chapter book has the appeal of a distinctive historical setting, a suspenseful adventure story, and a familiar character. Grades 3-5. --Carolyn Phelan
