This is the right answer, but I liked Johnny Tremain as a kid too.

Have you read any Gordon Wood? You can regurgitate his stuff at a bar if you’re ever near Harvard, but seriously, his books are great and in depth about the time period.

Gordon Wood
Thomas Fleming
Joseph Ellis
are three popular historians specializing in tAR.
The Traitor & The Spy by Flexner is a good read about Benedict Arnold

Easy read but I recently read American Hannibal by Jim Stempel. It is primarily about General Daniel Morgan and the Battle of Cowpens.
I enjoyed it.

Rick Atkinson is working on a Revolutionary War trilogy.
The British are Coming is the first one. Haven't read it yet, but his WWII trilogy on the US Army in Europe is very good. He's a good writer.

The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 by Robert Middlekauf is a good overview of the conflict. It examines the military, social, and political machinations of the war and is part of the prestigious Oxford History of the United States series.

This is by far the best book on the subject I have ever read.

George Washington's Secret Six is a cool little book about the Culper Spy Ring
