Lafayette (Hazardous Tales) by Nathan Hale - ESSENTIAL

Lafayette (Hazardous Tales) by Nathan Hale, 127 pages.  GRAPHIC NON-FICTION.  Amulet, 2018. $14. 

Language:  G; Mature Content:  G; Violence: PG (war scenes, some dead)

BUYING ADVISORY:  EL, MS - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Meet the Marquis de LaFayette – friend to the American colonists as they fought against England during the Revolutionary War.  

Hale uses his familiar graphic novel style, with plenty of pizzazz, some blood, and a healthy dash of excitement to tell the tale.  This one is a bit more confusing – mostly because LaFayette is less familiar to American children.  I really wish these books were a larger format – better to see and enjoy the illustrations.  But every single one of them is highly popular.
