Freedman, R. (2010). Lafayette and the American Revolution. New York: Holiday House.
I really enjoyed this book, but I am a history buff. Here we learn about the Marquis de Lafayette, who came to fight in the American Revolution from his homeland in France. Many people don't realize the important role that Lafayette played in our nation's history; not only did he actually fight in battles, but he convinced the French government to send money, troops, and weapons. This backing was vital to the American victory.
There are lots of pictures, including many in color. While there's a lot of material covered here, I think it's done in an exciting way that will hold readers' attention.
