The British Are Coming (Young Readers Edition)
Reading Level: 6th − 7th Grade
How did the United States become the country it is today? What led to its creation? Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson's deeply researched and stunningly vivid The British Are Coming, the young readers edition explores these questions and so much more as it delves into the American Revolution. A collection of key battles from the beginning of the war, including Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill, sets the scene, telling a story of liberation fraught with contradiction and intrigue. History buffs and newcomers alike will be drawn into this fascinating, photo-illustrated account.
