Books for Teenagers that love Hamilton!

If you love the Broadway show Hamilton from Lin-Manuel Miranda, you should head to your library to read more about the main inspiration. 

Miranda read Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton for inspiration.  We have two copies in our district at GVHS and LHS.  If you love history and want to know more about A. Ham, this book is for you.

If you want to learn more about Hamilton but aren't interested in a heavy biography, consider checking out a graphic novel version of his life called Alexander Hamilton:  The Graphic History of an American Founding Father by Jonathan Hennessey.  We have one copy at GVHS, but anyone in the district can request it.

Don't worry!  I'm not going to neglect those of you who want to read a love story!  Alex & Eliza:  A Love Story written by Melissa de la Cruz captures the story between Alexander and Elizabeth Schuyler.  Copies available at GVHS, BCHS, and MHS.
