I was given a complimentary copy of this book for review by the author.
My name is Gage Bailey and I am fourteen-years-old. My mother was given a copy of this book for review purposes as the author wanted the opinion of a kid who enjoys history – that’s me! I really liked the fact that the author added so much more information in this book, more than you can find in the text books we get in school. The title is perfect. There are more than just “Americans” who helped to make the history of our country and I think it is sad that we don’t get to hear about them at school. We are all beads on the same string, and everything we do, no matter how big or small, makes history.
The only thing I wish is that the author would have added more of her opinion in the book. I do realize it is non-fiction, but I would have liked to know more about what she thought when she was researching and writing it. What she as surprised as me to find out such important and interesting facts? I really liked this book and I recommend it to anyone who loves History!
