I try to read all the books my children have to read for school. This candidate for a biography book report is the story of Osceola and the Seminoles. As I find generally true with the Landmark Books, this biography is well done given its young adult target audience. The characters are slightly romanticized but the basics of the Seminole War are there and younger readers will learn a bit of not-well-remembered American history while enjoying an adventure story.
