I must say, what really helped things to “come-alive” for our children was having read the American Girl Felicity series, watched the film, and – most of all – having read the Felicity mysteries. I highly recommend reading Traitor in Williamsburg aloud in the car-trip down, or ahead of time, since it is placed in Williamsburg and contains many of the locations that you will soon visit! We had so much fun spotting the graveyard where Felicity caught the villain; the Wig-Maker’s shop where she gathered some helpful information; and- most of all – the Printer’s, where she tried to figure out who was printing broadsides against her patriot father.
