Parents want books that reinforce values and teach history, but kids want excitement. The series features a mix of Americans and international figures, men and women, young and old, showing that integrity is universal to the human experience.
You're outnumbered. The British are closing in. What do you do?
The enemy general is asleep upstairs. Guards patrol outside. Can you pull off the raid?
