About This Book
This engaging chapter book introduces young readers to two pivotal figures in American history, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Despite their vastly different personalities, Adams, the blunt and argumentative, and Jefferson, the soft-spoken and polite, shared a common goal: American independence from British rule. The book highlights their unique contributions and their ability to collaborate for a greater cause, culminating in the Declaration of Independence. With "signature wit" and "impeccable research," it offers an accessible and entertaining look at the founding of the United States, perfect for sparking interest in history and the concept of working together despite differences.
