Substitute middle-school history teacher Rush Revere takes his students back in time to explore the night "The Star-Spangled Banner" was written.

Another great entry in this series. This time, Rush Revere, his talking, time-traveling horse Liberty, the his "Crew" of middle school students visit Washington DC. They also time travel to Philadelphia to visit James Madison as he works on the US Constitution; they attend the Constitutional Convention to visit with George Mason; and they watch Francis Scott Key write our National Anthem aboard a British ship.

Again, this book is devoid of politics, so anyone shying away from having their kids (or themselves) read this series based on Rush's ideology need not be concerned. ( )
