Ohdanigirl Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hello everyone. My oldest (14) is looking for book suggestions. He has been focusing in on the Industrial revolution and watching videos/documentaries he has found at sites such as Youtube, BBC, KPBS, etc, but wants to read some literature from or based on the time period. Dickens is up there on his list, but he is open to a variety of suggestions. I am combing through the Sonlight site, as well. Your ideas are greatly appreciated.
