Today Caramel is talking to Sprinkles about Alamo All-Stars by Nathan Hale, published first in 2016. This is the sixth book in Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales series, and thankfully the sixth book Caramel happened to read from the series. (So finally these numberings match!)
For Caramel’s reviews of the five earlier books, please check out: One Dead Spy, Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood, The Underground Abductor, Big Bad Ironclad, and Donner Dinner Party.
Sprinkles: So here we are, talking about yet another Nathan Hale book.
Caramel: Yes! And this one is also a great book!
S: Oh, yes? So you have enjoyed reading about the Alamo? Isn’t that supposed to be a story of a big defeat?
C: Yes, but a very heroic one! And at the end of the book, the author ties things up by telling us how the U.S. in the end did win over Texas. So they lost Alamo first, but eventually they won it back. Kind of like losing the battle and winning the war.
S: I see. But it was also probably a heroic win for the other side, at least the stand at Alamo.
C: I suppose. You are right. All wars have at least two sides. When one side wins and celebrates, the other side is losing and facing great difficulties. So I like reading about wars and history, but it would be best if there were no wars. I think we can say that we have had enough wars. Maybe we do not need any more.
S: Such wise words from a little bunny…
S: Okay, so this book is all yellow!
C: Yes, you said last time that each book has one thematic color, so maybe you were right. This is the yellow book. There are other colors in the book too, of course but yellow is a lot more visible in this book than the others.
S: Is there any humor in the book? I mean it is about war and death again, but …
C: Yes. At least there are some light-hearted moments. And it does not feel as heavy as Donner Dinner Party.
S: I see. That is good. So it seems from this page created by Fulton County Library System that there are at least six more books in this series.
C: Yup. I want to read all of them!
S: I think that can be arranged. But maybe we can take a short break for a bit.
C: What are you trying to tell me Sprinkles?
S: Me? Nothing. Maybe there are other books you could read for the next week or two.
C: Maybe. Or maybe not. I do like these books!
S: I know. But maybe we can try a few other books for a bit.
C: I see what you are doing. And I guess we will see what you find for me to read for next week.
S: I mean, I won’t force you.
C: Hmm.
S: Okay, maybe this is a good time to stop talking about this book and wrap this review up. What would you like to tell our readers?
C: Stay tuned for more book bunny reviews!

Many famous characters fought –and died, at the Alamo. People like David Crockett and Jim Bowie.
There is a very informative web site that goes into all kinds of details about that battle, it can be

I wonder what they would have become if they hadn’t died there.
