My son loves science... Not reading. I thought I would try to get him to read a non-fiction story, since he does not care to read fiction (at all). He liked this book and kept asking me, "Is this true?". He read it in about 15-20 minutes, so not an extremely detailed account of Nathan Hale's story. But he got the main points. The art work made the story come to life, and there's lots of art work.
Wonderfully Illustrated and Painted!

I have been following the emerging artistic talent of Craig Orback (the illustrator of Nathan Hale: Patriot Spy) for a few years now. I have always admired his work, and now, with this book (his first I believe), I get to see how talented this young artist REALLY is.His use of color and composition for his work is stunning and the artwork helps bring this story to life in a really great way.The illustrations/paintings recall older, classic, illustration styles from books like Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe.Really well done!
