Luanne Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 My daughter loves world history, but not so much American history. What are some good books for her to read on about a 6th to 8th grade level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABQmom Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 We LOVE American history at our house. We've read so many good books. Maybe if you narrowed it down to a time period of American history or an event, I could make some suggestions. Off the top of my head, I would say to chose something from Sonlight's catalog--we've rarely been disappointed by their suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - after the Native American books, this list is mostly chronological.
