Who I'd Recommend to: I would suggest this book to people who like heavy historical fiction with minimal embellished fiction elements that make a story more colorful. Some other historical fiction books I have read and liked are Fever 1793 by Laurie Anderson, Now by Morris Gleitzman, and Towers Falling by Jewell Rhodes.
Synopsis (from the publisher) : SAVING WASHINGTON follows young Joshua Bolton and his childhood friend Ben, a freed black man, as they witness British tyranny firsthand, become enraptured by the cause, and ultimately enlist to defend their new nation in a battle that galvanized the American nation on the eve of its birth.
