My 8 year old son devoured this book in 2 days! He enjoyed learning about all of the battles that made the Revolutionary War and learning about George Washington’s life. We can’t wait to order more books from this author.
There's not much to see here. I added 10 to the library's collection. An 11 year-old boy checked out a couple 2 weeks ago. He came in and grabbed the rest of the stack yesterday because he loved them. He said he read each of them about five times. Another boy came and grabbed the two remaining books and they are really popular with our younger, more conservative readers. When they're reading something they enjoy, they'll refer their friends to the series and this one seems like a winner!
My son is dyslexic. He despises reading. He is entering fourth grade. I purchased this book and the audiobook in a last ditch effort. He absolutely loves following along while listening to the audio. He rates it a 10/10. We are now almost finished reading it and are going to purchase the WWII book/audiobook.

That's terrific to hear. Thank you for sharing his experience. And thank you for helping him learn to love reading.
My grandson has been loving the entire series. Regularly he will call to discuss the content. He has become a voracious reader with his teacher commenting to his parents a dramatic increase in his reading proficiency.
I used a kpod for scale in the photo. The books are awesome! I also purchased the audio books for days when I can't sit and read to my kids, so I'll play those while doing chores or art or something. But they are a great read for boys (and girls)! Such an amazing idea! Thank you!
My review is like those which I read before purchasing: My 10 year old couldn't put it down. He finished the book in a few days, on his own. I will be buying more. It brought such joy to see him enjoying reading.
My 9 year old son wasn’t interested in reading and was getting frustrated with books that didn’t interest him. He’s now picking up the battle books on his own because he loves them so much! He’s sharing what he’s learning, showing me the maps and telling me all about the battles, I honestly think I’m learning as much as he is, haha. I’m so grateful these books are turning his heart towards reading!!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for sharing his experience, Katrin. I'm very happy to hear he's enjoying the books.
My kiddo is flying through these books! I asked what he was going to do for new material since he’s consuming them so quickly. He said, “oh, I’ll be re-reading this set mom!” :)
Store owner replied:
That's terrific, Rena. Thanks for commenting. You can also let him know new books are coming, including "The Wild West" in October.
I ordered the 9-book set for my 8 year old grandson, and had it shipped to his house.
It arrived in a few days, and he began reading the first book immediately, finished it in about a week, and has started reading the second book already.
He loves the books, and calls me to talk about them.
I am very pleased that he is reading more, and playing video games less.
I was hopeful that this would be his summer reading, but he will likely finish soon!

Howard, it's so heartening to hear of grandparents like you who are making sure their grandsons spend more time in books and less time on screens. Thank you.
My 10 year old son loves these. They have the perfect amount of detail—enough to give the stories interest and connection but not so much he loses the train of thought. We will be using these with the curriculum PDF file as his fifth grade history program this fall.
The website is really easy to navigate and the shipping is really fast and the books are packaged securely. I have a young patron that was very excited that I ordered the set. I also needed a receipt for my records and the request was fulfilled the same day. I love a company that has great communication.
I purchased the Battles for Boys books for our school library. I can't wait to see what the boys will say about them. I read the books myself and was able to follow along with the clear explanations of the battles. I enjoyed the photos that went with the information discussed.
