PinkInTheBlue Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 We are doing American History this year. The big boys just finished My Brother Sam is Dead. I chose it because I pre-scanned it and liked it, it was pretty small and seemed to be a good introduction. They are interested in more early American fiction. Do you have any suggestions for anything from early American discovery through the events of the American Revolution? I need to make a decision and make the purchases by Monday. Thank you! -- I'm going to cross post this to the high school board as well. They are 14 and 12 with great reading levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imprimis Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes. And, I almost forgot, there's a series by Edward Cline dealing with the events leading up to the American Revolution. Here's a link to the first book. http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Frake-Sparrowhawk-Edward-Cline/dp/1931561214 Edited September 16, 2010 by Imprimis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolspinner Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 My kids have enjoyed Johnny Tremain. We have enjoyed the audio version read by George Guidall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
