So I was browsing in the library the other day and I noticed this little book on the shelf for new kids books. Turns out, IT'S A CHILDREN'S ILLUSTRATED BOOK ABOUT THE FREAKING DONNER PARTY! HEY KIDS, WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE TIME A BUNCH OF SETTLERS CANNIBALIZED EACH OTHER?! Actually, that sounds awesome. The story is told by American patriot Nathan Hale before he is executed for spying on the British. He tells the story to the hangman and British general overseeing the hanging while they wait for a crowd to gather. This is probably one of the greatest books ever written. If you are a fan of learning history and lots of dark, inappropriate humor, you need to check this out. Right now.
10/10
p.s. Yes, you do actually learn a lot too. Seriously, there's a bibliography and everything.
