Rockwell, Anne. Ill.
by Floyd Cooper. A Spy Called James: The
True Story of James Lafayette, Revolutionary War Double Agent. Lerner
Publishing Company, 2016. $17.99. INFORMATION.
Originally a slave to a tobacco farmer, slave James was
allowed to become a double agent for the Americans and French. Passing as a
runaway slave, he passed information he learned from the British to the
Americans and passed false information to the British. His efforts helped
immensely in the fight for American independence. This is his story.
This illustrations leave something to be desired, because they’re
dark and not vivid in detail. The text, however, is informative and the layout
is well done. The author’s note and sources for further reading are also
included for alignment with common core standards. This is a great addition to
any non-fiction collection.
