Welcome to Litsy!

First YA History, and I like how easy it was read so much info quickly with this genre. I knew nothing about Arnold except he was a traitor; learned lots about him plus lots of interesting background on the Revolutionary War - much felt like trivia and tidbits, but I love that sort of thing. The impact he had on American history was fascinating.

On the one hand, I did learn some things about Arnold. On the other, I don‘t think there was really enough for a stand alone book. I felt many scenes were unnecessarily expanded just to fill pages.

Also warning for sensitive readers (like me), some of the battle scenes have rather graphic descriptions.

I also learned that apparently “YA history” is now a genre. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Book 2 for #NFNovember
Book 6 for #NovelNovember 🎉

My favorite part about the book was reading what he was like as a kid.

I would recommend this book to middle schoolers because of the content it carries. This books contains information about war and the harsh reality of it.

Full Book- This book was interesting read, though it felt very long and drawn out. The biography is written about his early childhood, which he tends to be a prankster. The author looks at Arnold in a fair and positive way for most of the book.
