The Powder is Lit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781969948053)

Three kids. Two centuries. One spark that could ignite a revolution.

What if a single drumbeat could change history?

When Rose and Nathaniel slip back to 1775, Williamsburg is on the brink of rebellion. Tensions between colonists and the British are sparking like fire on dry powder. Liberty and loyalty collide everywhere, on the streets, in the taverns, even in the Governor's Palace. But when a secret letter reveals Lord Dunmore's shocking plan, they realize they might be the only ones who can stop disaster.

Rose, Nathaniel, and Pearl are on the most dangerous mission of their lives. From Patrick Henry's thunderous "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech to a daring drumroll that could change the future, the friends must navigate spies, soldiers, and hidden codes. If they get this wrong, the American Revolution might never ignite.

Perfect for fans of Magic Tree House and I Survived, The Powder Is Lit whisks readers between past and present in a gripping mystery about courage, friendship, and the sparks that start a revolution.
