Author: Rush Limbaugh
Published: October 29, 2013
Genre: Children’s/Historical
Summary: Meet Mr. Revere, a substitute teacher who loves history, and his time traveling and talking horse - Liberty! Mr. Revere has recently been hired by Manchester Middle School to teach its honors history class while the regular teacher is out. Well, when Liberty comes in while he is teaching class, Liberty and Mr. Revere immediately become the kids favorite history teachers.
After class lets out, however, Tommy (the class clown, and school football team's star quarterback, who hides how smart he really is to stay cool), and Freedom (a shy, artistic, Native American girl who loves animals) find out Liberty can do more then just talk. When they find out he can travel through time they are super excited. Freedom has to go home that day but Tommy and Mr. Revere go back in time to meet the Pilgrims that they learned about in class. The next day Freedom goes with them and they have lots of fun learning about early American history.
What I liked about it: Well I know we did an official review for these last year but I love them so much that I simply had to do them over again here! I love these books because the characters are fun (both the ones from the first book and the ones that join the crew in later books), the places they go to and the historical people they meet are really cool! Even I, who love history, learned new things while reading them.
Language: None
Romance: None
Violence: None
Magic: Liberty is a magical horse, that is how he can travel through time but its not really gone into a whole lot.
Recommended Age: Any! These books are clean and fun and as they can be used for learning and fun I would say that you might even be used as read aloud books even before or while your child is learning to read.
These are a neat series. I wish my girls enjoyed them. - Lori
