Lafayette: Nathan Hales Hazardous Tales #8

Nathan Hale brings readers back to the world of the American Revolution for the first time since One Dead Spy--but this time, he's following the Marquis de Lafayette into battle. An orphan who became a French nobleman, Lafayette was a major figure in the American Revolution who fought alongside iconic figures like George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. Fans of the musical Hamilton will instantly recognize Lafayette's name, but there's so much more to his story. With Nathan Hale's trademark graphic illustrations, Lafayette shares what happened before and during the war, including all the wild escapades the Frenchman embarked on across France and the colonies. Both gruesome and hilarious, Lafayette takes you on a roaring journey and will have even the most reluctant reader excited about the American history.

"Hale (the author) yet again weaves a delightful and engaging narrative sprinkled with silly and scatalogical humor...Fans of history, Hamilton, and/or Hale's previous entries will be clamoring for this latest volume." Kirkus Reviews
