IRON THUNDER: THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE MONITOR AND THE MERRIMAC


Tom knows more information about Captain John Ericson’s vessel than any other teen (or Confederate Spy). When his father was killed in a battle against Confederate Soldiers, Tom set out to find work with the Union Navy. As an assistant to the Captain of the U.S.S. Monitor, Tom is fascinated by his work but is also fearful of the spies in the surrounding dock.
Exciting! Informative! Engaging! Avi’s Iron Thunder will beg readers to keep on reading until the very last page.

Best for 4th grade and up.
