Description

This book describes firsthand accounts of the American Revolution War from those who lived through it.

Quick Summary

Imagine stepping back in time and hearing directly from the people who were actually there, from a teenage soldier who ran messages through British lines to a woman who spied for the patriots using invisible ink hidden in letters. Kids will love meeting real people caught up in the Revolution, hearing their fears, their hopes, and the wild stories they lived through, like the moment when ordinary farmers became unlikely heroes at Lexington and Concord. If your kid devours narrative non-fiction like the "Who Was?" series or loves feeling like they traveled back in time, they'll be hooked on these personal voices from history. With a 4.8 reading level and just 2,652 words, this book is perfect for kids in grades 4 through 6 who want to taste history instead of memorize it.
