Sleight of Hand: a Revolutionary War Adventure for Kids

April 1781: The Revolutionary War tears through the Carolinas, setting Patriot against Tory, friend against friend, even father against son. Fort Watson rises above the Santee River on an ancient burial mound, its high log walls guarding — or threatening — every route into South Carolina’s backcountry.

And right now, it’s in the worst possible hands. Loyalist Lt. James McKay sits inside with plenty of food, water, ammunition, and confidence. He refuses to surrender, certain reinforcements will arrive soon.

Outside, Brigadier General Francis Marion and his small band of Patriots see no way to take the fort… until two clever men — and one very bright young boy — hatch an ingenious plan that just might turn the tide of the war.

Join the dashing Captain Pendragon and the tavern boy Diggory as they save the day! With extra fun material: codes, maps and history!
