EXITING, A BIOGRAPHY WORTH READING!!!!!!!!!!  Have you ever heard of the Revolutionary War? Of course you have, but… Have you ever heard England’s side of it? Or do you know anything about King George? I didn’t, but Jean Fritz taught me many things about him.

When King George the Third was a boy he was bashful and nagged at for being lazy. When he was 12, he became next in line for becoming king. He married Princess Charlotte when he was 22 and had 15 children (9 boys and 6 girls).

King George started the Revolutionary War because of the Boston Tea Party. He wondered why they thought he had no right to tax them. After the English soldiers had captured New York and marched to Philadelphia, King George thought the England would win.

I wonder what would have happed if King George didn’t start the Revolutionary War. The U.S.A might have become a Parliamentary Democracy like Canada and probably wouldn’t have the Statue of Liberty or be such good friends with France.

King George changed a lot from boyhood to an adult. Many people thought that King George was a good king until he started the Revolutionary War. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Fritz’s work or the Revolutionary War.
