Here are the high points in the battles of the American Revolution: John Paul Jones on the sea, the Battle of Saratoga, the Battle of Monmouth, the hit-and-run fighting of Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion, and the Battle of Yorktown. But it also highlights the role women and blacks played in George Washington's military campaigns against the British. This funny, colorful graphic novel will excite reluctant readers, prepare students for standardized tests in history and help homeschooling parents!

All of Bentley Boyd's books are wonderful. I have bought all of them and donated them to the library and have a set at home. What a wonderful resource! What an interesting way for people to learn information.

This review is from: War for Independence (Chester the Crab's Comics with Content Series) (Paperback)
We bought War for Independence, Revolutionary Rumblings & Constitution Construction as a 'go along' to a unit study. My kids & I love them! We have bought many more since our first order. I love they have study guides to print out for almost all the comic books. Thank you Bentley Boyd for making learning fun!
