Lafayette! (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #8): A Revolutionary War Tale

My ten year old has been looking forward to Nathan Hale's latest book for months. We were so excited to have "Lafayette" delivered on the release date. My son read it cover-to-cover in one long sitting. It was blissful to have a night of family reading time, and not even a hint of asking for screen time. Each book in the Hazardous Tales series has enthralled my son. I give these books to parents of his friends that are trying to find the right "hook" to get their kids to enjoy reading. My kid is a history buff and these books really speak to his interest. If anyone can recommend other series of a similar vein, I'm all ears! In the meantime, this will be read over and over again, and we will not-so-patiently await Nathan Hale's next project!

I love this series and I really loved this installment! I'm typically not really into Revolutionary War stories because it was a war that meant freedom for some and not others, but I enjoyed this one because Lafayette was such a dynamic and fun character, truly an adventure and battle seeker. And it felt like this was one of the more understandable story arcs, not confusing at all. Though I do think the author could be better about tracking dates throughout, or making sure there's a recent date marker if a year is randomly mentioned in the narrative. Also, it's cool to see the artwork get better and tighter as the series goes on. Looking forward to learning what the next book topic will be.

My grandson loved this book. He read it the first day he got it.

I have students who will only read these books. No other book gets them excited to read, but with these books, they will sit silently for 20 minutes and read, sometimes so engrossed in it that I have to urge them to put it down when it's time to move on. Mr. Hale better keep writing more of these. I don't know what I'll do when my students get through them all.

My 10 year old LOVES these books! He devoures them. I love the fact that the series takes history and puts it in front of kids in a way that makes it entertaining. I’ve found my eight year old daughter enjoying these right along side my son even though these are not typically the type of books she enjoys. Can’t say enough good things about the whole Nathan Hale series!

Even thought written in comic book fashion, it packed a lot of history into the story line.

It was as funny and snarky as Nathan Hale's books usually are, but Ethan Allen was in for one of two panels in the long awaited Benedict Arnold backstory,and he was portrayed as a bufoonish egotistical drunkard again, which is out of character. For more information,look up Ethan Allen, and you will learn tons of interesting facts K three to scratch the surface of in this, but I accidentally deleted it.

My 12 year old grandson raved about this book. He read it in one sitting. He likes history and this book tells in a unusual way. It's almost comic book like. There are others in the series that he's asking for already. I should say he's not really a reader either but this book really held his interest.

Arrivato in tempo e in condizioni impeccabili. Inutile specificare che il contenuto riassume perfettamente ciò che deve, in chiave, però, ironica e leggera. Davvero molto soddisfatta.

Excellent. It was a great gift for my husband, he really enjoyed it, especially having seen Hamilton.

The book arrived in a few days in good conditions. Funny, easy to read and paticularly suitable for middle schoolers.
