Obviously extensively researched, these shouldn't be used as a primary source for history study but could act as supplements when studying particular stages of our nation's history. The style of each volume reflects the class and context of the narrator, adding to the overall authentic historical feel. Stories appear in the form of diaries, so while there may not be dry facts presented in isolation, there are dates to offer perspective to easily confused young readers. Not that those topics are left out-while the narrators of each story are fictitious, many of the events they participate in are historically significant moments, from Civil War battles to the Oregon Trail to rationing on the home front during World War II. And you don't have to worry about bad language, sexual content, too much violence, inappropriate romantic relationships, or any other gratuitous elements unsavory for adolescent readers *. For another thing, children will get a good sense of a period of American history without wading through political and military facts. For one thing, it's well-written-a variety of successful children's book authors were employed to write individual volumes in the series, writers as diverse as Mary Pope Osborne, Karen Hesse and Lois Lowry to name a few.
