Looking for a fun chapter book set in Philly during the American Revolution...

This is my first time on the new boards. While I have gained much from everyone here over the years, I've decided to cut way back on posting, especially on the General Board. I'll be happy if I stay "just visiting" for a good long time! :)

I needed to ask this question, though, because I am stumped. I need a chapter book based in Philadelphia, during the time of the American Revolution for my 1-3 grade co-op class (which is focused on Philadelphia/American History). I'd like to read a bit each week, over the course of six weeks. I need an exciting, engaging book, because this is a wiggly group. Any suggestions?

It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but we thought it was a fun book back when we read it. It's by Robert Lawson.

Thank you for the suggestion. Ben and Me was one book I was considering. It does look like a good, fun read. I was hoping to avoid a book that centered around just one person, if possible. If I can't find another idea, I may go with this one, though.

Thanks again!
