Cut down by a bullet from political rival Aaron Burr, Hamilton has since been immortalized alongside other Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson—his likeness even appears on the ten-dollar bill. In this fully-illustrated and impeccably researched graphic novel-style history, author Jonathan Hennessey and comic book illustrator Justin Greenwood bring Alexander Hamilton’s world to life, telling the story of this improbable hero who helped shape the United States of America.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nSelected for the American Library Association's 2018 Great Graphic Novels for Teens\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"There’s loads to be learned here, and any Hamilton addict will\u003cbr\u003e\neagerly eat it up. . .worthy of high praise.\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n—Booklist\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\". . . a timely portrait of the famous and controversial \u003cbr\u003e\nAlexander Hamilton.\" —Library Journal (\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre Spotlight: Graphic Novels)\u003cbr\u003e\n\"For fans of the stage show who are looking to dive deeper into the real history that inspired it,\u003cbr\u003e\nAlexander Hamilton: The Graphic History Of An American Founding Father is just what you need on your TBR.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n —\u003cbr\u003e\nBustle\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Unpacking the history behind the high-energy Broadway megahit Hamilton, this focused biography will get teen through adult readers to ask questions about the country’s past and\u003cbr\u003e\npresent.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n—Library Journal \u003cbr\u003e\n(Review)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdvance praise for\u003cbr\u003e\nAlexander Hamilton:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Yo, yo, yo, check out this book\u003cbr\u003e\nIt’s amazing and cool and has a baller look.\u003cbr\u003e\nGet on down to an LCS in your neighborhood\u003cbr\u003e\nHave your mind blown by Hennessey \/ Greenwood.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis ain’t no U.S. propaganda \u003cbr\u003e\nIt’s the best\u003cbr\u003e\nHamilton since L.M.
