Summary

In "The Young Continentals at Bunker Hill," John T. McIntyre intricately weaves a vivid narrative that captures the valor and resolve of young soldiers during one of the American Revolutionary War's pivotal battles. McIntyre employs a rich literary style that merges historical fact with speculative character development, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the intense atmosphere of 1775. With detailed descriptions and authentic dialogue, he brings to life the struggle for American independence, contextualizing the battle within the broader tapestry of revolutionary fervor and youthful idealism. This work serves as a compelling tribute to the lesser-known, albeit significant, contributions of young men who played a crucial role in shaping the nation's history. John T. McIntyre, a passionate historian and educator with a focus on American Revolutionary history, draws on both primary sources and his expertise in historical narrative to craft this engaging tale. His dedication to illuminating the lives of youth during tumultuous times reflects a broader theme in his work, highlighting the intersections of age, courage, and commitment to freedom. Inspired by the narratives of young combatants and their profound impact on the war's outcome, McIntyre's background in teaching history informs his accessible storytelling. "The Young Continentals at Bunker Hill" is a must-read for history enthusiasts and students alike. Its poignant exploration of youthful sacrifice and patriotism resonates with contemporary readers, inviting reflection on the values of courage and dedication in the face of adversity. McIntyre's skillful portrayal of historical events, combined with compelling character arcs, promises to ignite both admiration and introspection, making this book an indispensable addition to any historical library.

    Super funny, super spooky MG for budding horror fans about a talkative skull and a necromancer-in-training - perfect for Lemony Snicket readers!

Mallory Vayle would list her interests as being normal, books about ponies and very definitely NOT talking to dead people. But when her parents' carriage takes a leap off Gibbett Bridge - an accident for which there appears to be no explanation - she is taken in by a strange aunt the family disowned years ago and brought to her new, and very spooky, home. Aunt Lilith, a charlatan psychic, is quick to monetise Mallory's prodigious skills in talking to dead people and starts to advertise grand seances (ticketed obvs) in her spiritual news sheet.

The ghosts of her parents also take up residence in the house but are cruelly snatched away by the shadow of Hellysh Spatzl, the grimmest, wickedest necromancer in all of history. To get them back, Mallory will have to learn how to use the talents she hates and raise the old hag from the dead. Her teacher? A talking skull called Maggoty, who wants some favours in return for his help - not just a gorgeous blond wig and some sparkly earrings, but for Mallory to break the curse that has left his spirit locked inside his own skull for 500 years.

Mallory will have to lean into who she is and what she can do and make a pact with the evil Hellysh Spatzl to get her parents back while at the same time putting on a sensational Halloween spectacular at only five shillings a head for an amazed audience at Nightmare Castle. And learn to love her chatty sidekick and his glorious wig...

As darkly hilarious as The Addams Family, this is really good fun. An alternative spooky Victoriana packed with laughs and outrageous characters, at its heart, it's a story of a young girl coming to terms with her own gifts and accepting that nobody is 'normal'.
