Overview

Amanda and Amelia's friend Josephine is in serious trouble. People are saying that she's poisoned a kitchen maid. The girl was terribly sick, it's true, but Josephine is innocent. Amanda, Amelia, and their friends Jacob and Penney know that must be true. What they think, though, isn't enough to save her. They need to find out why the maid got so ill. Everyone seems to believe the maid's story, so they've got to solve the mystery on their own. Meanwhile, tensions are rising in all the American colonies. Some say declaring independence is treason. Some say it's the only way to be free. Even Amanda and Amelia are arguing, like they've never argued before. Both of them are very worried, as no one knows what the future holds. The Servant Girl's Secret is an engaging mystery for middle-grade readers, the fourth in the popular Amanda and Amelia series. Set in 1775 Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, it brings the early days of the American Revolution to life. 140 pages with 32 b/w illustrations. Ages 8 - 12.

These are heartwarming stories about the adventures of two young colonial girls and their friends Jacob and Penney as they solve various mysteries.
