Synopsis

When Thomas Jefferson's violin is stolen at the Raleigh Tavern, he's seriously worried - and not just about his violin. The violin case also contained some politically dangerous private notes he's written, saying treasonous things about the King. The thief must be found, and quickly, but the Sheriff isn't really looking. He thinks he already knows who the thief is - and he's arrested Amelia's best friend. As Amanda, Amelia, and Jacob anxiously search for the real thief, other fateful events are also taking place at Raleigh Tavern. In the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party, Jefferson and the other Patriots are angry at the Parliament and King George. There is strange, troubling talk of colonists' rights and even something called "independence" - talk that will lead to a Continental Congress and change their world forever more. Critic's Review from The BookLife Prize in Fiction: "This charming novel is soundly structured. The author maintains a sense of urgency throughout and drops just enough clues to keep readers turning pages. . . . This book is ideal fare for middle-grade readers." "Mystery at the Raleigh Tavern" is the third in the popular Amanda and Amelia "Colonial Children" series, set in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.
