APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
One day, Napoleon Augustus Smythe—just your average 11-year-old boy—receives a curious note inviting him to relive famous battles. What follows is the start of an incredible adventure that has Napoleon working as an undercover spy, boarding a pirate ship and collecting DNA samples. Open Fire, the first book in Charlie Carter’s Battle Boy series, features lively descriptions of Napoleon’s high-tech gadgets and old-fashioned courage, plus family-friendly battle scenes, vivid illustrations—and a Roald Dahl-like flair for the magical. Carter’s book teaches young readers about history in a fun, enthralling way.
