Super cute and I need this for the media center. It asks a lot of important questions about how we represent history and how we view marginalized groups in the past and present. It does not offer tons of answers, which is good, as it is young people who will be forming the answers to those questions as we move forward as a society.

For any person, old or young, that loves history! Amos loves it too. But he’s recently realized his historical reenactment job is white-washed and sexist. But instead of giving up and finding a new hobby he decides to help bring back women, queer, and BIPOC lives back into the historical narrative. Along his journey he learns the importance of fighting for what you believe in, even when it makes those you look up to uncomfortable, and the power a young voice can have. Amos is such a funny and sweet kid, crushing on his friend and even experiencing how as a young gay white cis-gender guy, he gets treated differently than queer people of color - especially in the history books.
