Best one I've read so far
I haven't read all of the books in this series, but I HAVE read a good many of them. So far, this is the best one. The title is relevant, the history is something children are rarely taught, and it's significance is hard to understate. I do roll my eyes at how Beth & Patrick conveniently "help history along", from time to time, in these books, as in this book - but it's a historical fiction children's book involving time travel ... and people like to have fun and interpret that differently anyway, so I don't fault the authors there. It's just not what I would do. This is my favorite book in this reinvented series thus far. Definitely recommend.
These books are appropriate for young elementary school aged children.
