Pairing heavily crosshatched black-and-white drawings with spare text, Decker portrays a turning-point event in the American Revolution: the skirmish between colonists and soldiers that led to the Boston Massacre. This historical picture book for intermediate-level readers will definitely hold their attention, but the action can be frustratingly difficult to follow.
