Review
"Siege' is a free verse, historical fiction written about how George Washington removed the British from Boston. Each poem is about a person or event that is occurring or being discussed. The poems are descriptive and give the readers an incite on the struggles that lead to start of what became known as the Revolutionary War.
There is a table of contents, glossary and an extensive bibliography of sources used to keep the poems factual. Reluctant readers, lovers of novels in verse, poetry and history will find this an interesting read and perspective of pre-Revolutionary War times. Recommended for grades 7 and up.
Overall Book Score: excellent
