Full Description
"Schweizer's limber figures and quick jabs
of slapstick goofing give this graphic novel a deceptively light veneer, even as
life-and-death matters are unfolding. It's no easy feat to combine a high-energy
historical adventure with a smart and nuanced look at the many shades of gray
that tint notions of patriotism, loyalty, and family ties, but Schweizer does
just that. Educators looking to add an energizing bit of spice to discussions
about the American Revolution should take notice." - Booklist
(STARRED
" Schweizer once again
tells a fantastic tale of heroism in a historic setting that evokes the time
period, using the language of the time, which can be quite humorous (such as
when Will asks Bess' dad if he can 'bundle' with her), and exploring
complexities of the Revolutionary War that are seldom discussed." -
School Library Journal
The
fan-favorite graphic novel series from Eisner-nominated cartoonist Chris
Schweizer returns with an all new adventure! Charles and William Crogan are two
brothers with very different perspectives on family, country, and loyalty. Now
they find themselves on opposite sides of the brewing conflict between colonial
separatists and those still determined to serve the British Crown. Will their
brotherhood be washed away in the bloodshed of the War or will their own ties
endure?
