The Voice, the Revolution and the Key

By Jenny L. Cote

One voice rallied a nation to Independence with 7 words:
"Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!"

The Order of the Seven must help birth one nation under God by entering the lives of a unique generation of children chosen to become the Founding Fathers of America. Liz is given the assignment of helping Patrick Henry become the Voice of the Revolution, setting the entire war in motion. If Max can't protect George Washington, the patriots will lose the Sword of the Revolution to lead them. Nigel must ensure that Benjamin Franklin's efforts succeed, and Al must gather intelligence right under the nose of the King of England. Victory will be impossible without the powerful ally of France to join in the fight led by its patriotic son, the Marquis de Lafayette. But will Kate be able to protect the young Marquis in time? The fight for liberty will be costly, with an enemy determined to give the patriots and anyone who helps them the other course--death.

Great Revolutionary War Historical Fiction

I really like this whole series (The Voice the Revolution and the Key is the seventh book) It is very well-written, Christian historical fiction, and you can tell that the author did a lot of research, and is passionate about the history described in the books. Jenny L. Cote presents important historical events in an exciting way, with animals on a mission for the Maker. In this book specifically, the plot felt kind of slow at some points, like there was too much information, and not enough of the animals, but it was still an exciting read! Liz, a cat, follows Patrick Henry's life. Before reading this book, all I really knew about Patrick Henry was that he said "Give me liberty or give me death!" But now, I know so much more about him, and he feels like a real person that actually lived, not just some name in a history book. The Epic Order of the Seven series makes history come alive. I strongly recommend that, before reading this book, you read some of the previous books, specifically the first one (The Ark the Reed and the Fire Cloud) The events in this book will make more sense, and you will be more familiar with the characters. I would say this series is appropriate for 4th-5th grade and older, probably even younger if you are reading it as a read-aloud. This specific book is a bit of a harder read, so maybe 6th-7th grade and up. (none of the content is bad for younger kids, but the book is really long and has lots of facts, so it might just be too hard to read for a 4th or 5th grader) All in all, I really like this book and the whole series, because they help readers understand history in a memorable, exciting way.
