Sheinkin, Steve. King George: What Was His Problem?: The Whole Hilarious Story of the American Revolution. New York: Roaring Brook Press, 2012. 208p.

Readers will be captivated right from the start of this funny and informative book! In the introduction, Steve Sheinkin shares his "Confessions of a Textbook Writer," apologizing to all of us for his former job writing "those big books that break your back when you carry them and put you to sleep when you read them." The text that follows is filled with interesting, odd and oftentimes hilarious information that makes the major people and events in the American Revolution come alive. This is history the way it should be written... and read!
