This is a great book for middle school researchers. The content is easy to read, but very informative. The illustrations were well chosen. The time line and and list of internet sources are vaulable tools for students.

This book tells the story of George Washington and his army before, during, and after the famous crossing of the Delaware River and the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolution. It is mostly told from Washington's point of view. This little book was an easy read and is appropriate for

middle and high school ages. The details and photographs in the book are gorgeous and descriptive. The author Jim Murphy clearly did his research, which is evident in the author's notes, the bibliography, and the listed sources. There is also a timeline included, which is helpful from a historical standpoint.
