Description
<p>For students ages eight to fourteen, the MY AMERICAN JOURNEY<br> series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful<br> dose of fiction.</p> <p>Each of the ten books recounts highlights from the life of a political,<br> creative, or cultural legend. But to engage a student's interest from<br> page one, a fictional narrator--usually a school-age person who somehow<br> knew the main hero--tells the story with youthful vigor.</p> <p>Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-Page's unique lessons are illustrations<br> from Sergio Martinez (Max Lucado's You Are Special). Each book also<br> contains study questions and activity pages for every chapter.</p> <p>Thomas Edison (1847-1931) was a bright American inventor and<br> businessman best-known for his patent of the light bulb. His story as<br> retold here teaches readers about the core value of hope--expecting<br> good things to happen.</p>
