(3) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Harlin. A taut fictionalized text and stately illustrations describe the 1778 Atlantic voyage of John Adams and his ten-year-old son, Johnny. As they travel to France to seek support in the Revolutionary War, their ship is chased by British frigates, hit by lightning, and fired on by a merchant ship. A brief author's note describes the subsequent achievements of John and John Quincy Adams.
