highly recommended

Seymour Reit re-creates the true story of Will Knox, a nineteen-year-old boy who undertook the daring and dangerous task of transporting 183 cannons from New York?s Fort Ticonderoga to Boston--in the dead of winter--to help George Washington win an important battle.

Nick's Review on the greatbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the cold winter of1775, the American troops were stuck without ammunition, cannons or guns. So the American troops set out to look for left over guns in Ticonderoga. They had to go through lots of trouble to get there! The British had tons of weapons, so they were ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read this book to see if the American soldiers survive the long trip to Ticonderoga.

In Guns For General Washington the book takes place in 1775(in Boston). It's very cold outside and it is old in Ticonderoga. Paul Revere is 15 years old. Paul's parents move, but Paul decides to stay and keep the house protected.

I give this book a five star ratting because it is very cool and it has lots of description! I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to know about wars and likes action!

excellent historical storytelling for young boys

I read and review stories for young boys, because that's what I have. This was a hugely successful book. It's compelling to read aloud. Reit is a natural storyteller who paces the narrative very well with short chapters that appeal to little ones' attention span. His language is pitched just right--a few words had to be explained, but that stretches the young mind. And, it has the additional advantage of being a true story from our nation's origins. Books for youngsters hardly ever get better than this. Highly recommended.
