Alexander Hamilton: the Outsider by Ian Schoenherr, Jean Fritz
After seeing scenes from "Hamilton", this seemed kind of tame. However, taken just on the merits of the story, I think kids will be surprised at how much excitement there was in the early days of our country.
Hamilton certainly had a sad and difficult early life, but his determination and passion for learning helped him scramble to a position of power and influence. The descriptions of the challenges and frustrations of the war for Hamilton and his commander in chief, GW, may be quite eye-opening for readers. And the need to SET UP a country--how does one do that? And keep everyone happy?
Hamilton's passion and intelligence are clearly portrayed here, making his untimely death all the more tragic.
In just over 130 pp, the story of one of the founding fathers of our young country is told with verve and great attention to detail. A great resource for kids who want to know more about this fascinating man.
