In The First Shot, eleven-year-old Charles Miller goes back in time to the Battle of Lexington in 1775 after being visited by Ben Sampson, who lives in 1775 and mysteriously appears in the Miller home in Lexington. The two boys participate in the events of an eleven-hour period of great anxiety and turmoil before and during the Battle. As they wait for the confrontation with the British that will begin the American Revolution, Charles knows much of what will happen, but is bound by the Time Travel Paradox not to do anything that will change recorded history. Even so, a mistake in the way he is dressed nearly causes his true identity to be uncovered, with potentially disastrous consequences. Charles meets Ben's father, who is a Minuteman, his sister Emmy, and John Hancock, Sam Adams and Captain John Parker, all of whom he sees as real people rather than the larger-than-life characters of history books. The youngsters are also witnesses to Paul Revere's warning to the Minutemen that the Redcoats are on the march. As the Minutemen and the British soldiers face each other on Lexington Commons and the British commander calls upon the Americans to throw down their arms, a single shot is fired. The Redcoats open fire on the Minutemen, beginning the Battle and the war that will end with the creation of the United States of America. Who fired that first shot is one of the great mysteries of American history - a mystery that is solved by Charles Miller.

My son and I used this book to study the start of the revolution. I was a great jumping off point for discussions and related research into the time period. Learning should be fun, and this book helped us to keep it that way. I home school my children, but I can see this book used in the classroom to help keep kids interested, and provide another perspective on the birth of our nation

This is a good historical fiction book which incorporates the "shot heard 'round the world" of the Revolutionary War with time travel. I think it would get kids interested in learning more about the Revolution. They learn about historical figures such as Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, William Dawes, Dr. Joseph Warren, etc.

I love time travel and I love learning about the Revolutionary war, so this was the perfect combination of both. I love the characters and the plot is awesome. This is such a good book! It is fun to read, while still being really informative about the battle. The author is great, and I really want him to write a sequal! Read this book!! :)

My seven year old son said the book is "kind of good." For a book that is "kind of good", I'm surprised at how many questions I'm getting about the Battle of Lexington. He was disappointed the book didn't cover the entire battle, so I'm on here looking for more books by this author.
Now I need to convince him that he doesn't need to build a musket. Highly Recommended!
