These kids are TALENTED, let me tell ya! I didn't know most of these stories and I was blown away. I'm super glad I picked this book up, but I kinda of wish books like this existed back in my elementary school days. Books like these would have made history way more interesting! This book includes myths of kids, stories of actual people, info about migration and more! It truly is a book for those wanting to learn.
Middle graders up to high schoolers will be the perfect audience for this book, but adults will easily be able to learn something new as well! I believe grades 6 and up would like this book, due to the complexity of the writing. But, there's nothing to say you can't have this as a bedtime read for some younger, more curious kids.
Overall this is a great non-fiction read for those avid learners!
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Nimbus Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (plus d'informations)
