Kaveen Savalani's top pick: ‘I Survived the American Revolution'
this form .
I love reading the I Survived graphic novel series, written by Lauren Tarshis.
I read the one about the American Revolution, which took place in 1776.
The main character is a boy called Nate. He gets lost in the woods trying to find a safe place after running away from his mean uncle.
He sneaks onto a ship and ends up in New York. He tries to get a job on a ship, but the leader of the American army says he can be a soldier.
America was fighting Britain because it didn't want to be a colony any more. It wanted to be independent.
After years of war, America finally defeated Britain and became its own country.
I like the characters even if they aren't real. I got to learn about the war through Nate.
The author also wrote about Native Americans, and that made me think about who has the right to the land.

Hong Kong-born artist's works finally shown again 36 years after dying young
Born in Hong Kong in 1954, Josephine Cheung Shuk-fong died in 1989 just as she was starting to make a mark on the art world. The painter grew up in Sheung Shui, then a rural part of the city, and died in Toronto, Canada, from lung cancer at the age of 35. Cheung moved to Canada in the 1970s and spent the rest of her short life there, apart from a year in New York. The paintings she left behind either went into storage at her husband's Montreal gallery or were sold privately, while others were kept at her family's home in Toronto. They disappeared from view completely. That changed in June, when Alisan Fine Arts' New York gallery held a commemorative exhibition of Cheung's works that blend abstract expressionism and figurative painting. Untitled (1984), by Josephine Cheung. Photo: Josephine Cheung Behind the exhibition is a moving story of a loyal friend's tireless campaign to restore Cheung's place in art history. Hong Kong-born Nancy Mei-yu Tong is a New York-based documentary filmmaker.
