This series is the ultimate antidote to the 'history is boring' epidemic. Nathan Hale (the author) uses a clever framing device where the historical Nathan Hale stalls his own execution by telling stories of the future to a dim-witted hangman and a stuffy British officer. It’s witty, visually dense, and never talks down to its audience.
While it’s technically 'educational,' it feels more like a binge-worthy action comic. If you have a kid who refuses to pick up a book unless it has pictures of explosions or weird facts about the Revolutionary War, this is your silver bullet. Just be prepared for them to start correcting your historical inaccuracies at the dinner table.
