Treason by Jo Macauley
Fourteen-year-old Beth Johnson is a talented and beautiful young actress. She is also a spy. The year is 1664, and Charles II is on the throne, but all is not well in the bustling city of London, and there are those who would gladly kill the king and destroy the Monarchy. One morning, a mysterious ghost ship drifts up the Thames. Sent to investigate by the King’s Master of Secrets, Alan Strange, Beth quickly finds herself embroiled in a dangerous adventure. Will Beth be able to unravel the plot to kill the King before it’s too late?
Set in 17th century London, young spies Beth, John, and Ralph are charged with keeping the king safe while going about their daily livesBeth is a famous actress-the perfect cover for her spying activities. John is a clerk for the Navy board and after meeting Beth, he too becomes a spy. Ralph was brought in by the king's spymaster because of his knowledge of the streets, and gives the group their assignments. In Treason, Beth and her colleagues discover a mysterious boat that has brought in explosives to kill the King. In the next book, the dangers of the plague surround the team. Each book, written by Jo Macauley, can stand on its own as a list of characters is provided in each volume, but readers will be more familiar with the characters if they are read in order. The storylines will keep readers interested, and the historical setting and facts will make the stories come to life.
