For students ages eight to fourteen, the MY AMERICAN JOURNEY series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction.
Each of the ten books recounts highlights from the life of a 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.
Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-Page's unique lessons are illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max Lucado's "You Are Special"). Each book also contains study questions and activity pages for every chapter.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) was a well-traveled American author andhumorist best known for his enduring novels "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," His story teaches readers about the core value of teachability--never stop learning.
