This is a children's book about the travel adventures of two siblings, a brother and a sister. This book tells of their adventures during a trip to Guyana.

The year is 1775. America is a grand experiment. Colonists are writing anonymous pamphlets about their hopes for this new country. British redcoats walk the streets. Enslaved African American women and men work on tobacco and sugar plantations. A young lawyer named Patrick Henry sings out in a courthouse, "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death." Henry's words become the rally cry for the American Revolution. This poetic speech will ignite a country to fight for its freedom and rebel against oppressive King George. Militias are formed and shots are fired at Lexington. Readers will view the events of the war that began America.

Imagine a time when people, using secret pen names, wrote exhilarating argumentative essays. Imagine wanting to find out what people like "Brutus" and "Cato" would argue. The revolution was over, and Americans were trying to decide how their new democratic government should be structured. Should the federal government have a great deal of power or should power be left to the individual states? Readers will get to follow along as the federalists and anti-federalists argue a new country into creation and create one of the most defining American documents: the Constitution.
