Open a Magic Window to the American Revolution; New Book Released

Time Travel to the past in Janet Matthews’ educational children’s fantasy, Nick Anderson: Timeflyer The American Revolution

Orlando, Fla. (PRWEB) March 26, 2006 -- Join young Nick Anderson for an adventure that was years in the making—and experienced in one afternoon after school. Nick time-flies through an ancient window into the past to re-experience the American Revolution in this enchanting historical tale.

American history is alive and well and full of wonders in Janet Matthews’ wonderful Nick Anderson: Timeflyer The American Revolution. Nick Anderson is struggling with learning about the American Revolution in school. But one day, he discovers a talking window and suddenly, he’s transported back through time to “the shot heard ‘round the world.” It’s a world of you-are-there action as Nick meets founding fathers, helps dump tea in the Boston Harbor and meets British subjects and American Revolutionaries.

Kids and adults will be entranced by the vibrantly alive illustrations. Helpful timelines and sidebars explain everything from colonial flint-fires to the exact route of Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride. Janet Matthews’ wild and witty romp is so delightful that it makes struggling with learning history truly a thing of the past!

“In this whimsical, fact-rich re-imagining of the American Revolutionary War, author Janet Matthews introduces children to the major events leading to American independence through witty dialogue, dynamic illustration and insightful asides.”
--Ellen Tanner Marsh, best-selling New York Times author

About the Author:
After the tragedy of 9/11, Janet Matthews became more aware of the place history has in children’s lives. To her surprise, she discovered that many children had a very limited understanding of history or how and why the past might affect them. Because she works at DisneyWorld in Orlando, Florida, she knows firsthand how much children love and respond to fantasy and art, and she set about to write a series that could effectively teach children history even as it entertained. Nick Anderson: Timeflyer The American Revolution is her first book.
