The reader will be alongside of the leaders of the Revolutionary War as they reach the decisions that will make them true heroes in the minds of historians. Tammy becomes a part of the rebel minutemen and joins the spy network that led to Paul Revere’s famous ride in which he declared, “The British are Coming!” Ride along with Tammy and Paul Revere and then witness her account of “The Shot Heard Around the World?” in Lexington. Historians have long agued as to exactly who fired that first shot that began the Revolution War. Tammy’s accounting settles the issue for all time.
You will be there on a hot summer day in Independence Hall when the Committee of Five, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston are nominated to write the Declaration of Independence. Take part in the discussions during the three weeks in which they created what many believe to be the most important words in the history of the English language. The reader will be see how Tammy assisted Betsy Ross and George Washington in creating the first American flag. And exactly how did that crack in the Liberty Bell occur?
Whether you are a young reader or a parent/educator, everyone will enjoy this remarkable tale of a wonderful little girl who became a legend in her efforts to “nudge” history and see that the American Revolution began without a hitch.

Hott Review:
I really enjoyed Tammy and the Declaration of Independence. What I could read was a terrific book, beautifully designed, with terrific illustrations. This is something that makes history fun and interesting!
The problem is that I have it for kindle, and it wouldn’t load on my paperwhite and on many of the pages the print is too small and light to read on my kindle fire.
So, I absolutely suggest sharing this with your middle-grade readers.. just get them the print version. 😉
