Great Graphic Novels for Teens 2013
One Dead Spy is a graphic novel that tells about the beginning of the American Revolution from the point of view of the famous spy, Nathan Hale, as he is awaiting his execution at the gallows. This graphic novel tells about how Nathan Hale came to be a part of the American Revolution. Through his retelling, and occasional supplements from a British soldier, the reader learns about the significant events that led up to Nathan Hale becoming a spy, being caught and up to his execution.
I personally love graphic novels. I also really like historical fiction. I like hearing about a familiar topic from the point of view of someone who was there. Hale also followed the story up with brief biographies of historical figures mentioned in the book as well as some clarification on what is considered to be fact and which parts were embellished or interpreted by the author.
