The cover of Anna Strong: A Spy During the American Revolution shows a woman in a red period dress holding a finger to her lips in a quiet “shh” gesture. To one side, two British soldiers stand nearby, while above her a clothesline with garments hangs as a subtle nod to secret spy signals. The scene is framed by lush, colorful foliage in greens, pinks, reds, and blues.

Anna Strong: A Spy During the American Revolution brings espionage to life with drama, suspense, and a heroine who proves that spy work wasn’t just for men in wigs whispering in corners. Anna Strong helped run messages right under the noses of the British—because in Revolutionary New York, even laundry on a clothesline could double as secret code (yes, really—spy signals once waved in the breeze on Long Island!).
