Exciting, thrilling, and engaging.

Review by Hudson

This book will tell readers about the Hannukah story from 2 children's point of view. The best part of this book is that it is a graphic novel so you can see what is in the author's mind. The illustrations were very colorful and kept me reading.

Amazing!

Review by ChickadeeLY

This historical fiction (a made-up story about something that actually happened) graphic novel about Hanukkah has some awesome battle scenes, and an interesting story line. The art is amazing! Specifically, the Greek spearmen are drawn very well. I have already read this book again dozens of times.
