Staff Reviews


"I regret that I have but one life to give for my country." Written by the author of the same name, this historically accurate graphic novel does an excellent job of describing who Nathan Hale was, why he matters, and what happened in 1775-1776. Funny and memorable--just the way great kid's history should be. Definitely check out the other books in the series: you will want to read more. — Marika McCoola

Description


Meet America’s first spy, Nathan Hale, in this installment of the New York Times bestselling Hazardous Tale graphic novel series!
 
“These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history.” —New York Times
 
“I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.” These are the famous last words of Nathan Hale, a spy for the American rebels in the Revolutionary War. But who was this Nathan Hale? And how did the rebels defeat an army that was bigger, stronger, and more heavily armed than they were?
 
One Dead Spy has answers to these questions, as well as stories of ingenuity, close calls with danger, and acts of heroism in the American War of Independence.
 
Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales take young readers into American history with graphic novels that bring the dangerous, bloody, exciting history of America to life. The Revolutionary War and the Civil War, World War I and World War II, the Donner Party, the Marquis de Lafayette, Harriet Tubman, the Alamo, and more all come to life in a way that will excite young readers of history.
