Max: H is for Hale

I read Big Bad Ironclad by Nathan Hale (the writer, not the spy). In this book E. Pluribus Hangman and the British Provost of the revolutionary war are back to hear one of Nathan Hale's new stories (last book Nathan Hale (the spy, not the writer) said his last words: I regret that I have but one life to give for my country. And then Nathan Hale got eaten by a history book! When he came out he knew all about our history!). In this book Nathan Hale tells them about the civil war! (He told them about the naval part of the war, okay?) Anyway, he told them about how the Norfolk shipyard was taken, how they burnt and sunk the Merrimack,how the south made the world's first ironclad,how John Ericsson built the Monitor,the part where the two ironclads fought and about Will Cushing and his encounter with the Albermale, and much, much, more!


I like this book because it is funny,and it has a cool prank at the end.

I do not like this book because it has a really scary part in the middle.


I would recommend this book to people who like the civil war and other big wars. I would also recommend this book to people who have read hazardous tales books because those people will get the jokes in this book.
