Description
When Paul Revere is kidnapped by a time traveler determined to change the outcome of the American Revolution, thirteen-year-old Kep Westguard is sent to Boston, 1775, to take his famous midnight ride. Kep’s four-person team has twenty-four hours to light the famous lanterns at Old North Church, warn Lexington and Concord that the British are coming, and rescue John Hancock and Samuel Adams from hanging as traitors to the crown.
As the clock ticks, one teammate is arrested as a runaway slave, a British watchman stops another from lighting the lanterns, and Kep nearly drowns when he attempts to cross the Charles River in a Patriot inventor’s prototype wooden, hand-crank submarine. When Hancock and Adams ask Kep to sneak a trunk of critical papers out from under the eyes of the British Army during the Battle of Lexington, Kep has to decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice for his country. If he fails, there will be no America to return to.

This was a very interesting series to read. Teachers in our school district are always on the lookout for more historical fiction books that correlate with their history unit and this one will definitely be popular with our explorers, and the discovery of America.
One if by Land focuses on a change in American History when Paul Revere gets kidnapped by a time traveler, it's up to a team of misfits (one mainly named Kep) to go back in time with the help of Samuel Adams and John Hancock to rescue the kidnappings in time before there is no America left at all. Can they all save America before they all get captured and that it is gone for good?
All of the adventures in the book are definitely relatable to the young audience and they will invest their time greatly. The students will want to read this book and they'll be begging to read it instead of feeling like they are forced to for a project. We can't wait to add this to our collection and have our students and teachers reading it. That is why we are proud to give this book 5 stars!

I will be posting this review on my Instagram, blog, and goodreads, along with amazon and B & N when available.
I was approved to read an advanced copy of One if by Land, Two if by Submarine by Eileen Schnabel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Here are my thoughts on the book and why I think you should read it.
This book is based around a group of four kids who were hand picked for a special reenactment camp. Besides two of them being brothers, they didn't know each other and you really get to see their friendships blossom throughout. The author also gives them different backgrounds, one being a young black man, and the only girl being vegan who's father is a politician. With the backgrounds comes real life issues that certain kids face each day and that can make this book very relatable.
Eileen Schnabel has a great writing style that has a way of sucking you in. The first couple of chapters felt like some of the turn of events were obvious but after that point it was better and had me not expecting anything.
I didn't know what to expect with this book but I am glad I gave it a shot! The synopsis drew me in but the cover sealed the deal. I am also a fan of historical events and this book did not disappoint when it came to the historical aspect. I would say that it is more a middle-grade read than Teen/YA, but none the less, everyone should read this book! This book can be purchased starting October 2nd, 2018.
