Filled with wit, humor, and history, One Dead Spy depicts several of the events of the Revolutionary War through the eyes of Nathan Hale, a British officer, and a hangman. This book wasn't for me (as it seems graphic novels tend not to be), but it was entertaining and educational and I can totally see how kids could enjoy it.
pickI love these Hazardous Tales books. This one was about Nathan Hale and his part in the Revolutionary War. It was quite fascinating and well researched 🦅
pickWhile not the best spy, Nathan Hale was an American hero during the Revolution! After he says his last words on the gallows, he's swallowed up in a history book and tells of great moments in history, or the future, to the hangman and a Redcoat. Both funny and factual, this is the way to get kids interested in history! Grown ups too, maybe ones who read other stuff during history class... 🤷♀️
Things I definitely don't remember learning in school: that during the Revolutionary War, Long Island, technically Brooklyn, was key in water surveillance of the British fleet. I know there is a Spy Trail across the north shore that we thought about traveling on, but I had no idea this even happened! Even School House Rock left this part out! #LongIslandRocks #lovemyisland
I can't tell you how many times I've laughed out loud reading this!!! 😂😂

I had a social studies teacher in 7th grade, Mr. Hubbs, who wore baby blue socks with sandals and would make an obscure history joke and say, "There's a little humor in that, you know."
pickBefore being hanged Nathan hale gets the chance to tell his story and that of some of the revolutionary war battles in the form of a graphic novel. My son at 4 is probably a little young, but loves it, we are on our 4th reread. #historybooks
Graphic novel about Nathan hale and revolutionary war. My son loved it and I learned a lot too! Great way to teach kids history. #historybooks #photoadaynov2016 #spynovel
While reading our favorite Halloween book, a wonderful parody of Madeline called Frankenstein, my son recognized this masked man making a cameo! #TheHangman #NathanHale #HazardousTales
