What a creative way to share history with reluctant readers-comics!
Nathan Hale (the historical figure) shares his story and many interesting stories about the beginning stages of the Revolutionary War right before he is to be executed. Ironically he shares these stories to his hangman and British officer! Humor is mixed with real facts.
Liked the end pages with the map of North America in 1775.
As the reader reads this book, it would be beneficial if he/she keeps a list of the numerous characters introduced and discussed.
Points to discuss: a couple of swear words and Mr. Hale (author/illustrator) says they are a quote.??
For this reason I am not "highly recommending" the book.
Others in the series: Big Bad Ironclad (Civil War), Donner Dinner Party (Westward expansion), Treaties, Trenches, Mud and Blood (World War I-coming out May 13, 2014).
