    About this ebook

    Over 1 million sold in series!

    The first of a three-book story arc about the American Revolution, The Redcoats Are Coming follows Patrick and Beth as they assist the revolutionaries by waking up the sleeping citizens of 1775 Concord before the Redcoats come. In this adventure, the cousins meet Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock. They help smuggle musket balls, sound the alarm that the Redcoats are coming, and deliver a secret message to Paul Revere. Along the way they learn that most of the revolutionaries leaned on God’s direction and even pastors helped in the cause.

    Christian parents and teachers will appreciate the historical facts as well as the biblical worldview training their kids and students will absorb. The kids will appreciate the excitement and tension of an America at war with England, and in some ways, with itself. A curriculum for Christian schools and homeschool families is available for download from Focus on the Family.

      The Redcoats Are Coming! - Marianne Hering

      Chapter 1

      Vacation Plans

      chapter

      Beth raced down the sidewalk toward Whit’s End. Her footsteps pounded on the sidewalk. Patrick jogged behind her.

      It was a hot summer day. Beads of sweat dripped down the back of Beth’s neck.

      All of a sudden Patrick raced past Beth. He reached the door to Whit’s End first and pushed it open.

      Beth was annoyed as she heard the bell on the door jingle. She wanted to be the first to tell Whit the news. She followed Patrick inside.

      Whit behind the counter

      Whit stood at the cash register behind the counter. He handed some change to a customer. Then he pushed the drawer of the cash register closed.

      Patrick stopped in front of the counter. He grabbed the edge with both hands. Guess what? he said to Whit. Grandma is taking us on a trip—

      To Boston! Beth said before Patrick could finish. She saw a flash of irritation cross Patrick’s face.

      Beth moved to the counter next to her cousin.

      Whit looked from Beth to Patrick. Summer vacation plans? he asked.

      Yes! Beth said. The words tumbled out. Grandma has been planning a surprise—

      And my mom just told me today, Patrick said. Grandma bought plane tickets—

      And we get to leave tomorrow, Beth said. So we have to pack right away.

      Beth grinned at Patrick, and Patrick grinned back. Beth didn’t feel annoyed anymore. Now she just felt excited.

      Why is Boston so special? Whit asked.

      Boston is where the American Revolution started, Beth said. We learned about it in school. Grandma wants us to see the places we learned about.

      That should make it all come alive, Whit said. I have a Bible from the Revolutionary War. It’s been in my family for generations.

      Cool! Patrick said. I’ll bet it’s worth a lot of money.

      Maybe, Whit said. Though I’d never sell it.

      May we see it? Beth asked.

      Of course, Whit said. Then he paused and rubbed his chin. If I can remember where I put it.

      You don’t know where it is? Patrick asked. How could you lose something as important as that?

      I haven’t lost it, Whit said. I cleaned out my attic and moved a lot of things around. I think it’s in a box . . . Whit snapped his fingers. I remember where it is. Follow me!

      The cousins followed Whit down the stairs. The stairway led to his basement workshop.

      They walked over to one of the workbenches. It was covered with screws and nails. Beth saw hammers and wrenches and what looked like electronic parts.

      Whit reached under the workbench. He grabbed the handle of a wooden chest. It reminded Beth of a pirate’s treasure chest.

      Umph! said Whit. The wooden chest moved slightly. Whit pulled harder. The chest slid out from under the bench. There.

      He stood up and searched the top of the workbench. He smiled and grabbed a key. It was lying next to an old radio tube. He knelt down and put the key in the chest’s lock. Click.

      Chapter 2

      A Mysterious Letter

      chapter

      Whit opened the lid of the chest and reached inside. He lifted up a smaller, dusty box. He blew on the top of the box.

      The cloud of dust made Beth sneeze.

      Sorry, Whit said as he lifted the lid of the smaller box. He carefully pulled out a large book. It had gold lettering on the spine. It was a Bible.

      Beth saw how yellow and old the pages looked.

      Whit set the Bible down on the table. He gently turned the pages.

      Patrick gave a low whistle. So they used this Bible during the American Revolution, he said. It’s over two hundred years old!

      Beth looked at the large book. I guess it wasn’t a pocket edition, she said.

      Whit chuckled. Only if they had extremely large pockets, he said. He turned to the Psalms.

      An old yellow envelope slid out from the pages. It landed facedown on the table.

      Beth saw a brown blob on the flap
