Alamo All-Stars: A Texas Tale by Nathan Hale
5.0
Full disclosure: Nathan Hale books are DEAR to me, as in I Drop Everything And Read them as soon as they land on my desk. They satisfy the history nerd in me in a way that no other series has. I am in my mid 30s and I have learned more history than I have ever forgotten reading these books.
I grew up on the east coast of the US so my knowledge of Texas history is that Texas exists. The end. I'm sure someone who grew up in Texas might have a different view of this book, but for me it was all knew and fascinating, if a bit insane.
Get this into the hands of any kid who wants to learn about history. Sneak it into the hands of those kids that say they want a war book or a book with fighting (there's plenty of it but it's history so it's good for them). Slip it into the pile of graphic novels that your comic book readers ask for.
