This is definitely the exact type of book that adds fun and information to my 6th Grade Social Studies classes.

The illustrations, graphics and writing are all perfectly engaging for 11-12 year olds who want to know a little bit more about what their good ole teacher is talking about. Now I need a book on Mesopotamia, Ancient China and Ancient India.

Thank you Random House, Kate Messner and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

I recently had a teacher recommend The History Smashers to me based on how much her son loves them. I think they are perfect for a middle school audience but they are a little bit more than most of my elementary students can handle as of now.

This is a fascinating book. The illustrations, comics, and text are highly engaging and will make this a more appealing nonfiction read to many kids. I enjoyed it and learned some new facts about Ancient Egypt.

Thank you to Net Galley, Random House Children's Books, and Random House Books for Young Readers for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
