Fifteen years old. Wanted:Dead or Alive"Don't love a spy," warns fifteen
year old Pinkerton agent Maddie Bradford, a lonely, rebellious outsider
with a mind on fire and a photographic memory. It is 1861, the Civil
War has just started and this motherless teen must move with her
soldier-father from New Hampshire to Washington, DC; a city at war,
packed cheek by jowl with soldiers, Rebel spies, slave catchers, and
traitors of all stripes bent on waging a war of destruction against the
Union, and President Lincoln himself.Maddie's journal, written in
secret, of course, begins with her arrival at her aunt's DC
boardinghouse through the first year of the Civil War, a time as Maddie
puts it, "full of dips and dangers," when she becomes a fearless Union
spy. And then there is the mysterious, maddening Jake Whitestone, a
young man who awakens something equally dangerous in Maddie: Love in a
time of terror.
