Book Launch Event for SPY RING on 5/20!

You're invited!!!

The Three Village Historical Society is hosting the book launch event for my new book for kids, SPY RING, on Monday, May 20th, at 7pm at the Setauket Neighborhood House.

Published by HarperCollins / Clarion Books, SPY RING is about two-modern day kids on a treasure-hunt adventure inspired by real-life Resolutionary War hero Anna Smith Strong, America's first female spy! It features a ton of local history and real locations around Three Village. At the launch, I'll be talking about George Washington's Culper Spy Ring, how I wrote SPY RING, and how history is all around us!

The event is open to the public and free of charge. All are welcome! I hope you can come!
