Publisher's summary

"THE BRITISH ARE COMING!" . . . but so are THE FRENCH!"

A spy in the Sons of Liberty threatens to crush the patriot cause on the eve of war, but who will fire the first shot at Lexington and launch the American Revolution?

The Marquis de Lafayette commits his sword to fight as France seeks to secretly support the American cause with spies on both sides of the Atlantic. Following Bunker Hill, George Washington faces the impossible task of driving the British from Boston with an undisciplined army and no gunpowder or cannons. As Congress debates Independence, Thomas Jefferson pens a Declaration—but it will never see the light of day if the vote isn’t unanimous.

The Epic Order of the Seven animal team must assist the Founding Fathers with espionage and numerous miracles to win this war for American Independence while a new, evil enemy seeks to slaughter the patriots and their commander in the field. But which will be the more dangerous—the enemy without or the enemy within?

Covering the events from March 1775 to July 1776, this second book in Cote’s Epic Revolutionary Saga tells of the incredible yet lesser-known struggles of the war before Independence."

READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR REVIEW: Fans of cinematic writing and stories with pure patriotism at their core need to look no further than Cote to satisfy their every need.

(*Please note: if you downloaded this audiobook before 1/27/22, you may have experienced two missing pages for chapter 68, ironically for the Declaration! We are uncertain how this happened, but we suspect that King George III had something to do with it. But never fear! The mysterious missing pages have since been reloaded, so the glorious cause is secure, huzzah. Simply remove the copy from your device and reload it from Audible at no charge.)

Readers' Favorite 5-Star Review by K.C. Finn

Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite

The Declaration, the Sword & the Spy: Epic Order of the Seven Series, Book 6 is a work of fiction in the historical and animal adventure subgenres. It is intended for younger readers upward and was penned by author Jenny L. Cote with this audiobook version narrated by Denny Brownlee. As we follow the continuing adventures of the Epic Order of the Seven, a team of animals helping some of history’s most famous names to succeed in the fight for American Independence, new dangers arise from unexpectedly close sources. Covering the events from March 1775 to July 1776, we watch the revolution brewing from a unique animal perspective as the Declaration is penned and waits to be made official.

In terms of storyline, this really is a historical epic that younger readers could spend a long time learning from and living through each exciting chapter. I could see the work being utilized in the classroom and indeed at home for youngsters to understand the complexities of the fight for independence from a very accessible perspective, and author Jenny L. Cote does wonders to make that experience accessible and exciting for all the family. Fans of cinematic writing and stories with pure patriotism at their core need to look no further than Cote to satisfy their every need.

In terms of its audiobook presentation, I really enjoyed the whole arrangement of the work, complete with sound scaping and musical effects here and there to enhance the drama and bring history to life. Narrator Denny Brownlee brings confidence and vibrance to each character and situation, and it often feels like a particularly enthusiastic history teacher is telling you the story with great gusto. Overall, The Declaration, the Sword & the Spy is a superb slice of history, mystery, and adventure that’s not to be missed.
