About this title

Synopsis

"Eighteen roses red," a wounded Rebel soldier whispers, and with those words thirteen-year-old Anne Elizabeth Brewster is drawn into a daring adventure. In a colony of New Jersey in 1777, the American Revolution is tearing apart Anne's family. And now a Rebel soldier lies near death in her home with an important message for General Washington-one that might well save many lives. Can she keep the coded message concealed and deliver it to General Washington in time?
