Written for readers age 10 and up -- enjoyed by adults!John's heart sank. A British man-of-war was plowing through the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean in hot pursuit of his ship. If the British caught up with the Boston, John would be hanged. He had proudly signed the Declaration of Independence and was carrying the colonies' secret papers. He couldn't be captured now!Growing up in Massachusetts, longing to be a farmer like his father, John Adams never imagined the vital role he would one day play in the transformation of the colonies into an independent American nation. As the injustices of British rule stirred up the colonists to revolution and independence, this rising young lawyer became and influential member of the Continental Congress and a passionate advocate for freedom.

I don't think the recommended age for any books written by Janet and Geoff Benge be limited to high school age. These books are packed with chronological details and additive stories. You can't put them down until you are finished. John Adams wanted to be a farmer and his father insisted he get a good education. Who knew he would be one our most important founding fathers? You will soon discover details of John's life that leads up to him being a great man. All curiosity about the subjects of the "Heroes of History" books is satisfied because the authors start at the beginning of their lives until the very end. They are quick reads - packed with valuable, well-researched life stories. I recommend that any age group start ordering these books, and if you want to get your kids hooked on historical figures, this is the way to go. You will want to read everything they have penned.
I was 13 when this title was released and my mom purchased it for me because I had already been reading other titles in the Heroes of History series. Though I have not read any of these books in several years now, I can attribute to the lasting effect they have had on me. When I think of what I know about John Adams, what I read about in this book is what comes to mind. It was written at an age-appropriate level for me at the time, but well-written to a degree that what I learned has stayed with me over the years.
It only wets the whistle compared to McCulloughs book, but great for young readers. Maybe a little dry for them, but not sure it can be more exciting. His was a real life, not fiction. This book is true to form.
This book captures the American spirit and gives insight into the heart and mind of one of our founding fathers in an easy to read style.
I loved this little biography of John Adams. It's simple enough that my 10-year-old understood and enjoyed it, but well written and intelligent enough that my 16-year old could appreciate it. The details of his life were interesting and kept the kids' attention. I also loved the use of his own words taken from letters and diaries, I thought it really helped you to get to know who he was. Very good book. I'm looking forward to reading other books in this series.
