Read from December 10 to 31, 2011

I'll call it juvenile non-fic but just know that this is a biography of a great war hero ... and a great war criminal. There is death and dying and violence in the book.

Benedict Arnold was both at the same time ... did I know that before? Apparently I need to brush up on my American history.

Anyway. I did enjoy it. Just not sure if I will get a copy for our school collection. If I worked in a middle school ... for sure. It's well researched and well written. For elementary, though? Got some (not to be prejudicial but the ones I'm thinking of are mostly boys) who might enjoy it. Will have to look at some more reviews and check on the recommended ages.
