History Comics: The Roanoke Colony: America's First Mystery by Chris Schweizer

5.0

I have been a big fan of the Science Comics series by First Second Press. So when I heard they were doing History comics also I was super excited! Just like with Science Comics, the History Comics series has a forward written by the author explaining their qualifications to write the comic.

This is all about the mystery surrounding Roanoke. I loved reading the story and even learned a lot. It would be a lot of fun to bring this comic into the classroom. It is still a fun story with silly jokes and great art. My students will love it.

I think my favorite part of the book is the ending. Without spoilers, it is hard to explain exactly why I loved this part so much. But it included some of the many theories as to what happened at Roanoke.
