Review

"A sterling biography." —New York Times Book Review

''This good-humored, unconventional recounting of Paul Revere's life and times succeeds in humanizing the man behind the legend." —Booklist, starred review

''There's no letdown for the reader in this jaunty view of a hustling patriot." —Kirkus Reviews

''The entertaining presentation of little-known facts will be enjoyed by primary and middle graders. The illustrations, often funny, accurately portray the era and show many facets of Colonial life." —School Library Journal, starred review

''If you get only one book about Revolutionary America, this should be it." —Christian Science Monitor

"The question I am most often asked," Jean Fritz says, "is how do I find my ideas? The answer is: I don't. Ideas find me. A character in history will suddenly step right out of the past and demand a book. Generally people don't bother to speak to me unless there's a good chance that I'll take them on." Throughout almost four decades of writing about history, Jean Fritz has taken on plenty of people, starting with George Washington in The Cabin Faced West (1958). Since then, her refreshingly informal historical biographies for children have been widely acclaimed as "unconventional," "good-humored," "witty," "irrepressible," and "extraordinary."In her role as biographer, Jean Fritz attempts to uncover the adventures and personalities behind each character she researches. "Once my character and I have reached an understanding," she explains, "then I begin the detective work--reading old books, old letters, old newspapers, and visiting the places where my subject lived. Often I turn up surprises and of course I pass these on." It is her penchant for making distant historical figures seem real that brings the characters to life and makes the biographies entertaining, informative, and filled with natural child appeal.An original and lively thinker, as well as an inspiration to children and adults, Jean Fritz is undeniably a master of her craft. She was awarded the Regina Medal by the Catholic Library Association, presented with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award by the American Library Association for her "substantial and lasting contribution to children's literature," and honored with the Knickerbocker Award for Juvenile Literature, which was presented by the New York State Library Association for her body of work.

My great niece is obsessed with Paul Revere. She is eight years old. I first purchased the midnight ride of Paul Revere for her and then picked up this book on what happened after the ride. She called me and was thrilled to fill me in on little known facts about the number of children he had and how he Whittled false teeth! She loved it!

This is a great companion book for younger readers to David Hackett Fischer's "Paul Revere's Ride". I give it away to home schoolers and ask that the book be passed around from home to home. Children who read it sign inside the front cover. It teaches children about the courage and dedication of our forefathers. There are still patriots in our country. They walk among us.
