Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Using a lively question-and answer-format, the author explains the American Revolution not only as a war for freedom which the American colonies fought against the British, but also as a "civil" war between the Patriots and those colonists who remained loyal to King George III. Special attention is paid to the role of children in the war and to the issues affecting them: What was life like before the Revolution? How did your life change after the Declaration of Independence? Would you have seen a battle?...Gone to school? Colorful accounts of famous figures, and words and expressions (such as "cowboy" and "John Hancock") that were coined during the Revolution enliven the text and enable readers to feel some connection with the people of the period.

5.0 out of 5 stars History from different perspectives!, October 10, 2003
By Heather Chapman (Kissimmee, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought that this book was a great example of how all of our history books should be written: from multiple perspectives! All we ever hear about our history is the positive patriotic version that is sugar coated and mostly false. For once, someone has written a story for children that shares both sides of the story: Loyalist and Patriot. This book beautifully compares and contrasts the viewpoints of both sides, the impact the war had on both sides, and some of the important figures, both Loyalist and Patriot. Excellent book to get your children thinking critically about the American Revolution!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for research, May 27, 2009
I would agree with another reviewer that the great thing about this book is that it is written non-judgmentally from the perspective of both sides, inviting the child to imagine what he/she would have done in the same situation. But it is so full of facts that it makes for very dry reading all by itself. It would make a great resource for the child that is just learning how to do research or who wanted to do some creative writing with this time period for background.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to American Revolution, April 3, 2009
By E. Gorden (St. Charles, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a good introduction. This book is intended for 4th+ grade. It is wordy with a colored 'sketch' in each two-page spread. Good information and easy to use with the question/answer format.
