Rosalyn Schanzer's engaging and wonderfully illustrated book brings to life two sides of the American Revolution--reissued with a gorgeous new cover and a new foreword in celebration of America's 250th birthday.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur narrative introduces anew two enemies, both named George: George Washington, the leader who helped free the American colonies from the British, and George III, the British king who lost them. Two leaders on different sides of the Atlantic, yet with more in common than we sometimes acknowledge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRosalyn Schanzer leads us through their story, and the story of their times, illustrating each side of the argument that divided the colonies from the Kingdom. Was King George a \"Royal Brute\" as American patriots claimed? Or was he, as others believed, \"the father of the people?\" Was George Washington a scurrilous traitor, as all the king's supporters claimed? Or should we remember and celebrate him as \"the father of his country?\" Who was right? The answer might not be so black-and-white. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSchanzer's book is a deeply researched and accessible account of one of the most vital periods in American history. It is also a timeless lesson in seeing history from different points of view. Her illustrations and creative use of first-person quotations bring the Revolution back to life, and allow the characters of the period to speak for themselves. Through its lively text, detailed illustrations, and fully authenticated quotes, \u003ci\u003eGeorge vs. George\u003c\/i\u003e shines fresh light on two sides of the story of our country's formative years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalyn Schanzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Geographic Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780792273493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e82899 \/ George vs. George: The American Revolution as Seen from Both Sides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Beehive Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Hoosier Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 968\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2004 pg. 578\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSLJ's Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2005 pg. 1020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 174 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2005 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRosalyn Schanzer is the award-winning author and illustrator of numerous books for young readers.
