Danger in Disguise, set in 1759, is an adventure novel for kids 10-13 years old. In Danger in Disguise, you will learn what war is really like and you will learn the reality of what it would be like to be hunted by a mass murderer.

I thought this was a very good book because of all the different characters and places, and because of all the twists in the plot . I give this novel five stars.
