Synopsis

“Schweizer's limber figures and quick jabsof slapstick goofing give this graphic novel a deceptively light veneer, even aslife-and-death matters are unfolding. It's no easy feat to combine a high-energyhistorical adventure with a smart and nuanced look at the many shades of graythat tint notions of patriotism, loyalty, and family ties, but Schweizer doesjust that. Educators looking to add an energizing bit of spice to discussionsabout the American Revolution should take notice.” - Booklist(STARRED

” Schweizer once againtells a fantastic tale of heroism in a historic setting that evokes the timeperiod, using the language of the time, which can be quite humorous (such aswhen Will asks Bess' dad if he can 'bundle' with her), and exploringcomplexities of the Revolutionary War that are seldom discussed.” -School Library Journal

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Brothers William and Charles may share their parentage but their perspectives couldn't be more different. Charles emerged from his education as unrest in the American Colonies started to hit a tipping point and he has kept his allegiance with the Crown. William, on the other hand, has taken up the plight of the Minutemen and other revolutionaries. When the two are thrust back together, they have to determine which loyalty comes first, the one to their fellow soldiers or the one to their family? Return to the adventure-prone exploits of Chris Schweizer's fictional family with this new epic volume in the critically acclaimed Crogan Adventures series.
