King George: What Was His Problem? : Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the American Revolution Spiral-Bound | September 22, 2015

From a Newbery Honor author, a hilarious look at the birth of our nation, complete with soldiers, spies, and salmon sandwiches.

History doesn't have to be boring. King George: What Was His Problem? tackles the American Revolution with a storyteller's eye to plot and character development: John Hancock fixates on salmon, Ben Franklin flirts with the ladies, and Benedict Arnold falls fatefully in love. At the battle of Eutaw Springs, hundreds of Continental soldiers plunge into battle "naked as they were born." Carefully researched, with a generous helping of primary source material, this is the whole messy story of the birth of our nation—surprising, silly, and utterly true.
