Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| My son loves to listen to books but does not like to read. This is on of the few books we have stumbled upon which he gladly reads. My husband and son have enjoyed learning about the presidents. Each one is one page and they read a few each night. I highly recommend this book as it is a great first step into non fiction. |
About the Author / 作者介绍: |
| Laurie Calkhoven has always been fascinated by history, and especially by the ordinary people who got caught up in extraordinary moments in history. She likes the small moments and bizarre facts that mostly get left out by the serious history books -- like whether or not a broken egg kept the American Revolution on track, and how putting your hands in your pockets and jiggling change could lead to an arrest in Nazi-occupied France.
While she was researching her biography of George Washington, she started to wondering about life during the Siege of Boston. Soon, a character named Daniel was whispering in her ear, telling her about his secret work for General George Washington, and she wrote the novel DANIEL AT THE SIEGE OF BOSTON, 1776. A biography of Harriet Tubman led to a second novel in her BOYS OF WARTIME series--WILL AT THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, 1863. Her third historical novel, MICHAEL AT THE INVASION FO FRANCE, 1943 rounds out the series.
When she's not writing historical books, Calkhoven is at work on nonfiction books like I GREW UP TO BE PRESIDENT and contemporary novels for American Girl's INNERSTAR UNIVERSITY series!
