Acts of Courage

by Pamela Horner

If your success in life depends on harboring a secret, then what do you do when you must either confront it, or lose the game of survival? Fourth grader Fen has worked feverishly to conceal his dyslexia, relying on his wit and charm to get through life. Suddenly whisked from his Indiana elementary school to 1778 by a character in his history book, Fen aids and accompanies George Rogers Clark on a seemingly impossible expedition during the Revolutionary War. While learning historical facts, Fen discovers even more about himself, and realizes that maybe his dyslexia is more of a gift than the disability he had always thought.

Enjoyable read

I am the first to admit, history wasn't my favorite subject in school. I debated reading a book even history related in fear it would bore me. This book is far from boring. This book takes you on an adventure! I have a daughter in middle school who I will be introducing this book to because I think it is a great learning tool. I recommend this book to people of all ages.

I was never that much into history. I like some but others I can take it or leave it. I like this book! I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I went on a journey/adventure with this book. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*
