pickA Historical Fiction novel, this adventure would be great read within a LC, RA, AS, IR and PR. This book is about an orphan boy, Nate, who's dad died at sea.

Now I‘m reading this
It is a good book. As far as I have read it. You might like it. Btw the main character snuck on a boat going to New York.
pickMan Cub and I listened to this on the way to my parent‘s for Thanksgiving. It covers the Battle of Brooklyn. While the book is decently well researched I was incredibly bothered by the fact that there was nothing mentioned about the French assisting the Continental Army even in her after notes she glances over it. It was a short listen and a good book for kids. Something to get them interested in learning more.
pick#ucflae3414f17 I Survived the American Revolution by Lauren Tarshis is a thrilling tale of an 11 year old boy who gets caught up in the front lines of battle in search for his father. This HF story offers a detailed description of what it was like to experience the American revolution, firsthand. Great for classroom libraries grades 3-5, I would suggest Guided reading for 3rd grade and Independent reading/Lit circles for 4th and 5th grades.
pickThis HF is about a young boy named Nate who runs away from his uncle's farm and ends up fighting in the American Revolution. The history provided in this book through the time line set up of each chapter would work nicely with a K-W-L chart and guided reading. I would suggest this boom for 5th-6th grade. www.scholastic.com #UCFWalterslit
pickThis HF book is about a young boy who after escaping his abusive uncle stumbles into an army camp in NYC. Since he is only 11, he is a ammunition runner. He goes to the battle of Brooklyn heights/Long Island. This battle is an epic failure but is a great learning experience for the American army. Since it is HF it could be a great tool to use for a fifth grade revolution resource. #ucflae3414f17
This is a historical fiction that follows Nate, an 11 year old boy who find himself in the middle of battle. What I enjoyed most about the book was after the story ended, Lauren Tarshis included some of her research and thought process for writing. It validates the book by giving students further resources. Scholastic has a lesson plan that teaches reading, writing, and language standards, also giving struggling readers a hero. #UCFWalterslit
