George Washington's Socks 4/9 Summary. The book starts its adventerous story when 5 kids, Quentin, Matt, Katie, Tony, and Hooter take a long walk along Levart Lakelate one night. A mysterious rowboat approached and as if in a trance, five kids when inside the boat. They were all smiling happily. However, they soon realized that the rowboat take them to the time of George Washington. The neighborhood lake turned into the Delaware River at the christmas eve at Trenton.

Tony's grandfather said it was always three quarters#moonand the#moonwhen Matt and his club members went into the rowboat was three quarters. When they were trying to find the way back to home. Tony and Hooter made friendy relationship with the Native Americans. Matt made a friend and watch him dying and met Tony and Hooter. Quentin and Katie were captured by Hessians, a really strong big musclely guy who is payed for killing people in war. However, one of the Hessians became friends with the five kids, but the soldiers killed him. I liked this book because it tells the realities of wars. The most funniest part was when one Hessian ate a bubble gum and swallowed it.
