From a different perspective

I very much enjoyed this kids book. It shows aspects of the American revolution from a very different perspective. All told it was a fun read.
Lorenzo's Secret Mission
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is one of the books that got my grandsons to look forward to being read to nightly. It's exciting, and puts you right in Revolutionary War times. Who knew that the Spanish helped George Washington behind the world's back--an important fact that all Hispanic children should realize. But more than that, it's a fun adventure.
An action packed historical novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
When the colonies revolt against England to establish what would become the United States of America, fifteen year old Lorenzo Bannister joins a secret flatboat operation delivering desperately needed medicine and gunpowder to George Washington's army in Lorenzo's Secret Mission. From the docks of New Orleans to the battlefields of the American Revolution, young readers will become deeply engrossed in this story of wartime travel up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, the horrors of slavery and of combat. An action packed historical novel, Lorenzo's Secret Mission is enthusiastically recommended reading for children -- especially those with an interest in learning about the contributions of the Spanish to the success of the Americans against the British in an epic struggle for emancipation and the founding of a new nation.
