With his engaging and timeless narrative prose, two-time Newbery Honor Book author Jim Murphy tells the awe-inspiring story of George Washington's glorious fight for an independent America.
It is 1776, and George Washington and his army of rebellious American colonists are emboldened by its stunning victories over the British at Lexington and Concord. But now, the Americans face the threat of a brutal British retaliation.
George Washington, who has little experience with a threat of this magnitude, is unanimously chosen as commander in chief in hopes he can unite the colonies. Britain's army is massive and well trained. America's is small and unruly. As the British begin their invasion of New York City and its environs, George Washington isn't the only one (continued)

Add a CommentThis is a really good book. It's not just a kids' book; if you're a grown-up who, like me, basically learned that the American Revolution was Bunker Hill and Washington Crossing the Delaware, this book will fill in some gaps really nicely. I got it for my son, and at 5 years old he's too little for it. And then I really enjoyed it and can answer a lot of his questions about GW and the Continental Army.
