For students ages 8-14, the My American Journey series presents a true history of the US with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction. Each of the books recounts highlights from the life of a true political, creative or cultural legend. But to engage a student's interest from page one, a fictional narrator--usually a school age person who somehow knew the main hero--tells the story with youthful vigor. 80 pages, hardcover. From Broadman and Holman.
