History is boring, right?

Wrong. It's because no one ever answered the questions you were actually curious about.

How did the British map India without GPS? What Indian treasures are in British museums? How did Indian children join the fight for freedom?

Travel back over 400 years to when the British first came to India for trading and quietly built an empire on the side. Follow their rise, the resistance against them, and the long, dramatic fight for freedom. Along the way, discover fascinating facts, cool illustrations, fun quizzes, and interactive questions.

Packed with black-and-white comic-style illustrations, jokes, and bite-sized historical insights, this book makes learning history exciting, engaging, and memorable for young readers.

Read it.
Laugh a little.
Then take the test to see how much you've learned.
