Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Your son can read. He just won't.He'll give a screen four hours and a book four minutes - and somewhere underneath the nightly argument about it, you've started to worry what all that scrolling is costing him.Here's a book he can't scroll past.Hannibal was nine years old when he swore he would destroy Rome. He kept that promise for the rest of his life. To get at Rome he marched fifty thousand men and thirty-seven war elephants over the frozen Alps, boulders crashing off the cliffs and the mountain itself trying to kill them, and came down into Italy and took the Roman army apart. At a place called Cannae he trapped a force twice his size and destroyed it in a single morning. West Point and Sandhurst still pull that battle apart today, trying to work out how one man did it.This is the true story of Hannibal Barca, told at the speed it deserves - and built for a boy who would rather be on a screen.Barely one in seven kids now reads for fun. Military Stories for Boys is built for exactly that boy: the reluctant reader who can read perfectly well and simply won't. Every chapter opens in the middle of the action, and there's an illustration on nearly every page, so he never hits a wall of text. He can open it anywhere and something's already happening. He thinks he's only following the pictures. By the end he's finished a whole history book, and it never once felt like school.In a game, he respawns. Hannibal didn't.

Your son can read. He just won't.

He'll give a screen four hours and a book four minutes — and somewhere underneath the nightly argument about it, you've started to worry what all that scrolling is costing him.

Here's a book he can't scroll past.

Hannibal was nine years old when he swore he would destroy Rome. He kept that promise for the rest of his life. To get at Rome he marched fifty thousand men and thirty-seven war elephants over the frozen Alps, boulders crashing off the cliffs and the mountain itself trying to kill them, and came down into Italy and took the Roman army apart. At a place called Cannae he trapped a force twice his size and destroyed it in a single morning. West Point and Sandhurst still pull that battle apart today, trying to work out how one man did it.

This is the true story of Hannibal Barca, told at the speed it deserves — and built for a boy who would rather be on a screen.

Barely one in seven kids now reads for fun. Military Stories for Boys is built for exactly that boy: the reluctant reader who can read perfectly well and simply won't. Every chapter opens in the middle of the action, and there's an illustration on nearly every page, so he never hits a wall of text. He can open it anywhere and something's already happening. He thinks he's only following the pictures. By the end he's finished a whole history book, and it never once felt like school.

In a game, he respawns. Hannibal didn't. Every choice in this book was real, and it stuck — the one thing a screen full of restarting soldiers will never teach a boy.

And you can hand it to him without worrying. It's honest about what war cost and never gratuitous: real events, drawn with respect, never blood for its own sake.

Inside Book 1:

An illustrated chapter book with an original picture on nearly every page, drawn for this book, never generic stock art
Clear battle maps a boy can actually follow
Short, fast chapters that drop him straight into the action
True history — every name, date, and battle really happened
Written so a strong nine-year-old can read it alone, and an easy fit by eleven or twelve

Don't take my word for it. Open Look Inside and read him the first two pages. Then watch how far he gets on his own.

Written by K.M. Hardie, who spent twenty-five years making complicated things simple to read, and now does it with the true stories that built the world. This is a book for reluctant readers — for boys who don't like reading, who can read perfectly well and would just rather be gaming. Hand him Hannibal. The hardest part is getting him to open it. After that the story does the work, and when he closes it he'll want Alexander next.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.

Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
