Battles such as Bunker Hill have begun to take their toll on both sides in the war. The Second Continental Congress meets and names George Washington as the commander in chief of the Continental Army. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin work to secure European allies in the fight against British rule. Readers dive into this history and make choices throughout that affect the outcome of the story. Scenarios are developed and lead up to choices, which the readers take to control the direction of the character and story. This format creates a unique and powerful experience for readers as they face the challenges and decisions that real people encountered. |
