Big Bad Ironclad!: A Civil War Tale by Nathan Hale

4.0

I am not a graphic novel fan, but this one is pretty good. Nathan Hale is writing in an "Arabian Night" kind of story where the narrator, the revolutionary spy Nathan Hale is telling his British executioners american historical stories to postpone his inevitable death. There is a lot of good information here about the civil war naval battles of the ironclads and it is done with lots of humor to help lighten up this war story. I will be looking for the rest of the series to add to my 5th grade classroom library.
