"a book about a kid that lives somewhere in New England, and the mayor is a descendant of some American revolutionary hero, and the kid is a descendant of this Tory that worked with the British… except the kid finds a coded note and long story short- they use spectacles to decipher the note, and the kid’s ancestor was a spy that worked for Ben Franklin/George Washington, and the mayor’s ancestor was the actual traitor? Seems like town was prepping for a big bicentennial celebration or something "
