Reviews
American history is full of myths and legends. This series explores common misunderstandings as well as figures and events that may have been omitted from most narratives. For instance, many people believe that Edison invented the light bulb, unaware of other inventors in the field, or they may think that everyone who participated in the Gold Rush became wealthy. Text boxes highlight extra facts like Ben Franklin having coined the term ""electrician."" Sidebars offer additional details, such as Sacajawea's involvement in the Lewis and Clark expedition. Photos and other images accompany the text. Many of the titles have a final page with statements paired as ""fiction"" and ""fact"" to set the record straight. A glossary and recommendations for further reading also support readers. VERDICT A -series that will spark vigorous discussion in the classroom.--Suzanne Costner, Fairview Elementary School, TN ""School Library Journal""
