CALVERT THE RAVEN IN THE BATTLE OF BALTIMORE

Book ID/图书代码： 11516013B60195

English Summary/英文概要： You think history is boring? Baltimore kid Daniel does - until a chance encounter with a magical talking raven named Calvert sends him flying back to 1814, where he finds his home city under siege by a British army on the verge of defeating the United States in the War of 1812. Amidst the fire of muskets and the approach of the British armada, Daniel discovers just what it took for a young nation to endure the Battle of Baltimore. He witnesses the bombardment of Fort McHenry. And maybe this time, the star-spangled banner won’t survive. In the beautifully illustrated pages of Calvert the Raven in The Battle of Baltimore, J. Scott Fuqua brings you on a harrowing journey of near misses, narrow escapes, and brave soldiers with no idea what tomorrow will bring.
