"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
