Great introduction to the Revolution for 8-12yrs

Listened on the car ride to our vacation. It made the Revolution interesting for my 8 year old, which was the point of the book. The narrator was very good and made it a lively event.

engaging narration, interesting facts!

I bought this for my kids and I to listen to in the car, along with a hard copy to read at home with our history text book. It was super engaging and informative; we learned new things about people we'd never heard of before. We learned more about the famous ones we were familiar with. The humor was well done and funny for my 3rd-7th graders, and even my husband and I were laughing aloud. We all loved it and recommend it to all our friends!

This a awesome book

If you like history and you like a little humor then this book is for you. I love this book and will be listening to it again sometime soon. I highly recommend!!! God Bless this country.

very enjoyable

fantastic book for teaching American revolution

used this book as a text book for homeschooling the American Revolution. the entire family loved it!

OK

It would bra very good book IF the author didn’t use as much slang and bad words. It also talks a lot about blood and death so Maybe not for younger kids. Again I say it would be a super fun book if it didn’t use such bad words.

great history book for kids

the voice of the book was wonderful. It really let the reader understand every piece of American history. great job.

Best book ever!

I need to choose a book to read for school, I am a history buff so I thought I would get this. And oh my god, I made the best decision of my life. This is so fun to listen to when it's my reading time. I am looking forward to listening to the other Guts and Glory books! I suggest that you buy this book, It is really interesting. Tip for the author: Make a ww1, Vietnam, and the Cold War Guts and Glory book. Keep up the good work!

Engaging history story

My 9yo history loving son really enjoyed this audiobook. I personally disliked some of the slang and informal language but overall, it was engaging and educational.

A fun listen.

I truly enjoyed this book the way that red written dialogue way. Made it fun exciting and maybe not want to stop. Thank you for enjoyment.
