  The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest.  
  	The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nation’s most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise.  
  	Perhaps not surprisingly, the Revolution was far more complex than often depicted, both demographically and politically. Not all the British colonies in North America joined the rebel colonies - East and West Florida remained British (although Britain almost lost both to Spain), while the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean colonies remained in the empire. The colonies in what is now Canada also remained loyal, namely Quebec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Rupert’s Land.

  'Thank goodness for Michael Morpurgo' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Telegraph 
  'Moving, unique and utterly charming. This is why Michael Morpurgo is the nation's favourite storyteller' Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear 
  “They call me Cobweb. I’ll tell you why later. I may be a dog, but I know and understand a lot more than people think I do.” 
  Britain. 1815. After years of loss and sacrifice, the end of the war with Napoleon is approaching. 
  Cobweb knows nothing of the war – he loves being a young puppy and playing with his owner, Bethan, exploring the countryside and chasing rabbits. 
  But when he is taken away from Bethan and sold, Cobweb must learn to become a Drover’s Dog – herding sheep and cattle for hundreds of miles on the long, treacherous journey to London. 
  And after the Napoleonic wars finally come to an end with the Battle of Waterloo, Cobweb meets an unexpected stranger with an incredible tale to tell on his journey home … 
  In this top juvenile fiction, Michael Morpurgo, the Sunday Times bestselling author, takes us on a wild journey through the eyes of Cobweb, a dog who experiences the harsh realities of the post-Napoleonic era. The historical and military aspects of the story are intricately woven into the narrative, making it a must-read for kids and adults alike. 
  For fans of Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Michelle Magorian (Be Yourself), Katherine A. Applegate (The One and Only Family), and Louis Sachar (Sideways Stories From Wayside School).
