Road to Revolution!
By Stan Mack and Susan Champlin
Illustrated by Stan Mack
Book Description
The first in a four-book sequence of full-color historical graphic novels-each focusing on a key moment in American history, and dropping readers headlong into the conflicts, the characters, and the events' lasting impact on American culture and government.
In Road to Revolution, Nick and Penny-an orphan and a tavern owner's daughter-find themselves in the thick of conflict as the colonists prepare to revolt against the British Military. Watch for a cameo from Paul Revere!“Mack’s art, clean and uncomplicated, renders period details and emotions quite evocatively and goes a long way to putting a human face on history.”—Booklist
“This is an amusing piece of historical fiction with plenty of appeal to children.”–School Library Journal
“Readers learn key information about this time in American history without the didactic feel of a textbook or even a nonfiction account. The Road to Revolution is an excellent addition for both classroom and elementary libraries serving students in grades 3-6 and is especially beneficial for reluctant readers to use during units of study involving the American Revolution.” – Reading Rumpus (Online)
