Remember, remember the 4th of November... It is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting. But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history. Horrible Histories author Terry Deary takes readers on a hilarious and eye-opening journey through some of the most significant revolts and uprisings that have happened around the world. From the peasants to the slaves, the suffragettes to the civil rights activists, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo.
