Kinda boring, but it's history, and it's about war, so that's to be expected. The comics make it more bearable, if you're being forced to read it.

This is a re-read, but I'd never marked it read so here goes. If we ever cross paths in real life, stop me and ask me about this series of historical graphic novels and I will rave endlessly about how smart and funny they are, how they perfectly mix learning and entertainment, how the narrators address the needs of struggling readers and higher level thinkers, and how Hale really creatively uses the format to do things you just couldn't do in a straight text. This is the first in the series and both times I've read it I've thought, "Man, I wish I'd come up with this idea" because it's just so perfect. I'm going to use this in our Revolutionary War unit this year, and I know the kids will love it.

I much prefer the Bigger Badder edition - bigger pages made it much easier to read.

This was a fun read and a great way for kids (and adults) to learn more about American history.
