Leaders and Thinkers in American History

Leaders and Thinkers in American History

Author: Meghan DuVarney Forbes
Series: Reads and Reviews, Reads and Reviews - July 2021
Genre: Historical Nonfiction - Middle Grade

Meghan's book is perfect for kids in the middle-grade level who might be curious about these individuals. It's also great for a teacher to utilize sections in the classroom. My favorite part of this book is that it was written by an actual middle school History teacher. Meghan has taught at this level for many years, and this book is written in a clever and engaging style that reflects that experience. There are many short biographies of famous Americans floating around the internet, however, Meghan's shines through the stack. The research she put into each biography and her experience teaching are reflected on every page.⁠

Major Events in American History

Major Events in American History

Author: Meghan DuVarney Forbes
Series: Reads and Reviews, Reads and Reviews - October 2021
Genre: Historical Nonfiction - Middle Grade

I was delighted when I was asked to review Megan's new book, Major Events in American History. I know that Megan's work is always researched based and her point of view on history is one that I trust. Major Events in American History provides the perfect concise introductory text for students and teachers. Forbes' writing is crisp and grade-appropriate, however, she often goes beyond the standard narrative to include enlightening and thought-provoking detail.

I could see this book in many classrooms across the country, particularly when the teacher finds it necessary to introduce a new topic. I was particularly delighted to see that Forbes' often recommended further middle-grade historical fiction titles at the end of many topics for students to conduct a further investigation.
