The Year of the Hangman by Gary Blackwood

Description: In 1776, the rebellion of teh colonies against British rule was crushed. Now, in 1777- the year of the hangman- George Washington is awaiting execution, Benjamin Franklin's banned rebel newspaper, Liberty Tree, has gone underground, and young Creighton Brown, a fifteen-year-old Brit, has just arrived in teh colonies. With nothing but an attitude and empty pockets, Creighton lands a job with Franklin's print shop. The English general expects the spoiled yet loyal Creighton to spy on the legendary printer. But as battles unfold and falsehoods are exposed, Creighton must decide where his loyalties lie... a choice that could determine the fate of a nation.
