Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Newbery Medalist Avi channels the mood, language, and danger of the Revolutionary War in this seamless blend of history and fiction, set in British-occupied New York City…The book is chockfull of fascinating historical details, including the conditions for those stranded in New York and the failed meetings between Arnold and John André, his (real-life) British contact. Avi doesn’t sugarcoat the brutal realities of war…in this rich, nail-biting thriller.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Avi’s setting is impeccable (especially the descriptions of the prisons where rebel soldiers were kept); the intrigue on the home front, real; and the tension of living in enemy territory, intense.” —Horn Book
“Sophia’s War is outstanding historical fiction, bringing to dramatic life the human story behind extraordinary events…Rich in period detail, the atmospheric prose vividly recreates old New York and allows readers to experience Sophia’s conflicting emotions.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Few historical novels are as closely shaped by actual events as this one during the last 100 pages. Working within the bounds of credibility, Avi manages to keep the fictional narrator on the scene for a good deal of the action and uses real moments to bring the imagined story to its dramatic heights.” —Booklist (starred review)
