This book series contains some great historical fiction novels for kids. Each book features a child's fictionalized eye-witness account of a disaster or major historical event, mixing fact with fiction to bring history alive for middle-grade kids. This particular story is told from the perspective of 11-year old Nathaniel Knox from New York. He runs away from the home of his Uncle, intending to join the crew of a ship and go to sea. He ends up in the middle of a Revolutionary War battle instead. His struggle for survival amid the cannons and gunfire brings the Battle of Brooklyn alive! I really like this series, as do my students. The stories are packed with action, so even reluctant readers will enjoy reading them. ( )
