In Flames of Freedom, readers will go back in time to 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was read and meet Jonathan as he fights for what he believes in. The History Files series takes readers into significant eras in United States history, allowing them to walk in the shoes of characters living in the periods they've learned about in the classroom. Each 96-page middle grade novel includes a comprehensive summary of the era, background information on the real people that the fictional characters mention or encounter, additional websites to visit, and an author interview.
