This is technically a children's series, but anyone who enjoys history would enjoy it, I think. I've been reading these since I was little and I love them so much.

Any books in this series would be a great gift for kids. They cover a lot of content, makes historical connections, and most importantly envokes emotion.

Man, I just love these books so much. They are the right amount of action-packed, funny, and sad in every one. Fascinating.

If we ever cross paths in real life, stop me and ask me about this series of historical graphic novels and I will rave endlessly about how smart and funny they are, how they perfectly mix learning and entertainment, how the narrators address the needs of struggling readers and higher level thinkers, and how Hale really creatively uses the format to do things you just couldn't do in a straight text. I didn't know a ton of detail about the Doolittle raid so I actually learned quite a bit from the volume.

Why do I think I can read war books in public without embarassing myself? I always tear up. Sometimes I cry. Sigh. This one was just made me tear up; there was no actual crying, but the sacrifices of the young men still hurt my heart. This wasn't my favorite of the Nathan Hale books, but I did enjoy it, and as always, I learned a lot.

Loved the focus of it. It was straight forward and the hangman is hilarious. Did a good job depicting the Doolittle Raid. Loved the illustrations through the periscope and the full pages and how he described each planes take off, bombing, and landing. Great detail. Also, all of Eleanor Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor speech!
