Editorial Reviews
“Newbery Medalist Avi channels the mood, language, and
danger of the Revolutionary War in this seamless blend of history and fiction,
set in British-occupied New York City…The book is chockfull of fascinating
historical details, including the conditions for those stranded in New York and
the failed meetings between Arnold and John André, his (real-life) British
contact. Avi doesn’t sugarcoat the brutal realities of war…in this rich,
nail-biting thriller.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Avi’s setting is impeccable (especially the descriptions of
the prisons where rebel soldiers were kept); the intrigue on the home front,
real; and the tension of living in enemy territory, intense.”
—Horn Book
“Sophia’s War is
outstanding historical fiction, bringing to dramatic life the human story
behind extraordinary events…Rich in period detail, the atmospheric prose
vividly recreates old New York and allows readers to experience Sophia’s
conflicting emotions.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)
“Few historical novels are as closely shaped by actual
events as this one during the last 100 pages. Working within the bounds of
credibility, Avi manages to keep the fictional narrator on the scene for a good
deal of the action and uses real moments to bring the imagined story to its
dramatic heights.”
—Booklist (starred review)
