This book has been dissapointing. Just to give two examples:

Lesson 6 is all about "chicanos", a term in and of itself offensive to Mexican-Americans.

Lesson 8 is about Women's rights. After explaining Roe V Wade... "groups who oppose abortion have used civil disobedience and court cases to change the law".

The author leans very left in politics. I wish I had of known this book was bias before I wasted my money.

I bought this series in the hopes of finding material that my reluctant 4th Grade reader could pursue on his own - a nudge from the mama-bird, so to speak. It not only met our needs, but has proven an engaging and well-planned history review. He thoroughly enjoys the work and is reading with more confidence. I would say it is appropriate for any 3rd - 5th Grader, with a reading level falling between these.
