Great book for children & adults!

This beautifully illustrated book is a great history teacher. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Excellent reader appeal- Beautifully written and illustrated

Louise Peacock's first book is a tribute to her excellent work as a historian. Although written for children 9-12, it is a book that that will appeal to all ages. She has a rare talent for writing a simple story that evokes the reader to find depth and insight. Her unique approach of blending three story lines allows the reader to experience the Battle of Trenton from a wide range of perspectives. Truly a work of art, this book comes highly recommended.
