Black Powder
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My twelve and ten year old sons and I loved this book. It is a fast paced historical fiction / adventure / suspense story that had them on the edge of their seats. It has everything boys could want in a book: Action, science fiction, drama, suspense, and humor. It also taught them quite a bit about the origins of gunpowder, historical figures like Dr Robert Bacon, and the living conditions of people and street children in 13th century England.
