While children will certainly like this book, there is no doubt adults who are interested in the history of Bushnell's submarine will as well. There is a wealth of real history here that those interested either the history of the American Revolution or nautical technology will find fascinating.

My Daughter, is a budding 11 year old, and is quite addicted to mystgeries, Harry potter, etc. This book is a little outside of her interest, but sje loved it. She finished it in no time flat, and even brought it to her history teacher, who thoght it was quite good. My daughter was fascinated by Bushnell, who grew up on a connecticut farm, and became the pioneer of submarine technology! Highly recommend this book!!
