Anmeldelser
Where Was Patrick Henry on the 29th of May? af Jean Fritz
A spunky biography of an influential American.
Short, fun book that lands somewhere between historical fiction and biography.
Ann Hamilton's family has moved to the western frontier of Pennsylvania, and she misses her old home in Gettysburg. There are no girls her age on Hamilton Hill, and life is hard. But when the Hamiltons survive a terrible storm and receive a surprise visit from George Washington, Ann realizes that pioneer life is exciting and special.
