{My thoughts} – Isaac and his friend Joe end up joining Washington’s army. They are young, but follow orders well. Isaac ends up sick with smallpox around the time Ranger joins the story.

Ranger stays with him well through out his time of healing. Once he is healed and better he rejoins the army where he’d left off. It does take him and Ranger a few days to catch up to them. Once they do though everything seems to work out alright for all involved.

He soon gets elected to be a spy and goes from side to side giving true and false information. The information he gives to Washington’s army is true. Ranger sticks around waiting everything out. He’s not sure when his job will be complete, but knows that when it is he’ll just know. show more In the meantime he’s going to continue protecting Isaac.

Towards the end of the book Isaac gets hurt. Ranger tries getting others to help, but they shoo him away. He eventually finds Joe and they get Isaac to a Doctor.

If you’d like to know what happens you’ll need to read the book. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
