Let It Begin Here!: Lexington & Concord: First Battles of the American Revolution Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

On April 18th at 9:30 p.m. Paul Revere learned that the British Army was marching toward Lexington and Concord to arrest rebel leaders. At 5:20 the next morning, a shot rang out and the American Revolution had begun. Told in a step-by-step account of the 24 hours leading up to the battles that sparked a revolution, this tale is sure to both inform and entertain.

“Strong writing, art, and design combine to make this a vivid introduction to the first battles in the American Revolution.”—Booklist, starred review

“A crisply written, vivid, you-are-there account of Paul Reveres actions on the night of April 18, 1775.”—BookLinks, starred review

“This makes a rousing introduction to the wars opening events.”—Kirkus Reviews
