My Favorite Childhood Book

The internet can be a great tool. It is so much easier to find information on the internet than any "old fashion way". For instance, when I was in elementary school, I read this book that I really enjoyed. All these years later, the memory of that book has stuck with me. Unfortunately, the name of the book didn't.
The book was set in the Revolutionary War and a young girl dresses up as a boy to send secret messages in loaves of bread to the patriots. That's all I could remember. I looked all over the web for this book and to no avail came up empty handed. What's a girl to do next?
I turned to Answers! on Yahoo!, typed my question with a description of the book and got an answer!!! I was so excited I started screaming at the computer, "Yes! That's It!!" Brooks thought I was a little nuts but what's new.
In case you're curious, the name of the book is Toliver's Secret by Esther Wood Brady. It's a good book. You should check it out.
Thank you wide world of web for making finding information from complete strangers so easy to do!
