  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 02/01/2016 Gr 3–5—These new installations in the series SLJ previously called "attractive and substantive" are sure to please students seeking accessible yet informative materials for report writing, as well as educators. Brief quotes from diary entries and letters appear throughout, providing context (for instance, Harriet Tubman offers information on the devastating effects of slavery) and making important historical figures accessible. Maps and reproductions, as well as the sepia pages, which give the volumes an appropriately old-fashioned air, add to the tone. Engaging and effective. - Copyright 2016 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission. Loading...
