| Summary | "The Boy Spies with the Regulators" by James Otis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two young protagonists, Sidney Hubbard and Clare Butler, who become involved in the pre-revolutionary conflict in the Carolinas as they join the Regulators in their fight against the oppressive policies of colonial authorities. The narrative explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the struggle for justice during a tumultuous period in American history. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces Sidney and Clare, two boys aged sixteen, who are determined to stand against the unjust tax levies imposed by Governor William Tryon and his representatives. The boys resolve to join a group of Regulators who are rising to challenge these oppressions after hearing of their neighbors' wrongful imprisonment. They set off on a precarious journey that leads them to directly confront a sheriff's officer and ultimately join forces with men who have collectively vowed to resist the king's authority. As the tension escalates, the boys find themselves at the heart of the struggle for liberty, marking the beginning of their transformation from children into young men ready to defend their rights and those of their community.
