Give Me Liberty Paperback – February 26, 2008

My grandson in 5th grade had me read a couple chapters and it was so good (accuracy and writing) I had to read the entire book.

Ranked from the standpoint of a teacher who would use the book in the American Revolution Historical Fiction unit. I love the blend of history with the story. I liked the characters, and I felt the story portrayed was believable. Although I liked it well enough, I have my doubts as to whether or not my 8th graders will share my enthusiasm. Still, for a book they may be required to read, I think they'll find it is a better read than most.

L. M. Elliott's "Give me Liberty" tells a grand narrative terrific for middle grade readers regarding the hopes and challenges of this crucial era in American history.This book has FLOWN off the shelf of our school's lending library. Credit to the skill of the writer and the history laced story. A highly recommended read for history fans of all ages.

Great book! I was just going to preview it before I let my daughter read it but I couldn’t put it down.

Our children need to understand our history as a nation, and this book is engages students to look at history critically. Multiple issues are addressed through the experiences of a young indentured servant.

Ok

Amazing Book for young readers!

I give it a 5 star rating because of the quality. The product is absolutely not a disappointment.

Definitely not a boring book. I'm also learning some American history as I read it. Makes for good discussion with teenage readers.
