Alexander Hamilton grew up far from the centres of power and ended up shaping the finances of a new country, and this illustrated biography tells that story for young readers.
James Buckley Jr. traces Hamilton's early years, his education, his military service and his place among the founders of the United States, writing in short sections pitched at children ready for longer nonfiction. Illustrations by Charlotte Ager appear beside photographs, maps, timelines, fact boxes and a glossary, so unfamiliar terms and dates are explained where they come up. The mix of narrative and reference features helps young readers follow a complicated period without losing the thread of one person's life.
Points that stand out:
• Written by James Buckley Jr. with illustrations by Charlotte Ager
• Timelines, maps and fact boxes supporting the main narrative
• A glossary explaining historical and political terms for children
• Part of DK's Life Stories series of biographies for young readers
Well suited to primary and middle-grade readers, parents and teachers shopping the children's nonfiction shelves at Boipoka.
