BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Meet the Marquis de LaFayette – friend to the American colonists as they fought against England during the Revolutionary War.
Hale uses his familiar graphic novel style, with plenty of pizzazz, some blood, and a healthy dash of excitement to tell the tale. This one is a bit more confusing – mostly because LaFayette is less familiar to American children. I really wish these books were a larger format – better to see and enjoy the illustrations. But every single one of them is highly popular.
