Princess Peach Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I am looking for any and all book recommendations for some reading my 7th grader could do on Ancient Egyptians/Greeks/Romans. He will be going into public school for 8th grade and this is what they study for history in 7th grade. In 8th grade, they do Middle Ages to the present. He is finishing up American History this year and we never got to Ancient Civ, so I'm looking for some things he could read that would give him a good background. He is interested in this subject matter and loves the Percy Jackson books, as well as the Kane Chronicles. I am going to be assigning the reading for Literature because I am unhappy with his curriculum for that, anyway. So a mixture of historical fiction and non-fiction would be great. Thanks for any suggestions you may have! :bigear: It may be helpful to know that DS is an advanced reader, so high school level stuff would be fine.

ChrissySC Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 YW, you will need to sort out a bit of the early history and Asian topics, but for the most part a good Google should help you to pick from that lot. It is our entire 2 years of reading that I have scheduled for our indepth look at ancient history. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
