Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales: One Dead Spy (10 out of 10 stars) Nathan Hale. Hardcover graphic novel, 128 pages. Published by Amulet Books, 2012.

In 2012 Nathan Hale and Amulet Books started a series of graphic novels based on American History, under the banner (literally) Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales. The first book in the series is One Dead Spy, and it and the following books are interesting, easy to follow, and downright entertaining. I’m buying every one of them.

Nathan Hale makes a good narrator for the years 1775-76, and his path crosses with the likes of George Washington, Henry Knox, Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold, General Howe and other notable heroes and villains of American History. The author uses these interactions to tell the key events of the revolution, including the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, the Battle of Bunker Hill (and Breed Hill), the Boston Massacre, and the Declaration of Independence. He leaves a lot of things untold, telling more of his tales in future volumes, but gives us enough information to make this book a solid read.

In the Classroom
This whole series is one that kids from 4th-8th grade seem to really connect with. I've seen it with my own sons, and I've seen it with students and their teachers. I love how by telling a relatively small story (of Nathan Hale), Hale (the author)(confusing) is also telling the larger story of the American Revolution, and how it meant different things to different groups of people. It makes a good template for research projects, including Wax Museums, History Fairs, and National History Day competitions. Hale includes a bibliography and research notes at the end of each book, and you're able to see how he made the connections found in the text itself. When teaching a graphic novel, don't forget to use the visual elements of the book -- why are certain characters drawn the way they are, what symbolism is in the artwork, and how do the art and words combine to tell a fuller story than either would on their own? If you're looking for a way to ease graphic novels and comic books into an upper elementary or middle school classroom, this series is a great place to jump in.
