Hello Readers,

Welcome to 1962 and 1777. To discover the intriguing connection between these two years, you’ll have to read The Red Coat, the debut novel of Laura Raines and Beth Raines. This fun and educational middle-grade book set in Philadelphia is coming out just in time for America’s 250^th Birthday. Come explore with sisters Kate and Ellie as they meet and take on the troubles of the ghost of a British soldier from the American Revolution. In their curious and daring journey to solve a 200-year-old mystery, the young sleuths learn a lot about themselves, loyalty, and life in Colonial America. We believe you will, too.

The Red Coat will be available on June 23 at Warren Publishing, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and independent bookstores.
