From the Book Bloggers

“A well-researched and moving biography . . . an exceptional story about the birth of the American nation. It includes fascinating and important details about the workings of the economy that are rarely encountered in history books for young people . . . readers will join me in enjoying the fact that everything great that Alexander Hamilton succeeded in doing was built on a letter that he crafted and published at age sixteen. I appreciate how well Kanefield succeeds in drawing Hamilton as a damaged, very human man who, despite his flaws, positively influenced the lives of all of us who arrived in America long after he was gone.” Richie Partington.

“Teri Kanefield has once again done an exceptional job of bringing history to life.” The Musings of a Book Addict.

“The Making of America Alexander Hamilton is a book I encourage you to read. I found so much between the covers regarding freedom of speech, government, democracy, capitalism, and even dueling. Mostly I discovered a man who had the courage to dream, to stand for what he believed and create one of the greatest countries in the world, America.” Mommy’s Memorandum.

“Kids obsessed with Hamilton? New book for young readers goes in-depth on the founding father.” Broadway World.
