Customer Reviews

Not just for children...

Although the book was written for middle-schoolers, most Americans can't give a single fact about Charlemagne. His story is told in an engaging style with language appropriate for adults. Several maps and illustrations help keep track of events. It serves as a perfect introduction to Mr. Sypeck's next book, due later this year, "Becoming Charlemagne."

Excellent Book

Mr. Sypeck has done a superb job of bringing the Holy Roman Empire to life for young readers.
