Killers of the Flower Moon: Adapted for Young Readers: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann
5.0
What an eye-opening, captivating report of a horrific time and story in our nation’s history. I’m so glad David Grann adapted this book and I think it should be available widely in middle and high school libraries. The three-part structure was very interesting as we focus not only on the crimes and the investigation, but also the birth of the FBI, and also much-later discoveries to the extent of the Reign of Terror. Pairs perfectly with THE MONA LISA VANISHES, though this one obviously deals with heavier topics. The audio was excellent and I’m glad to also have access to the hard copy as it is full of photographs.
Moderate: Gun violence, Racism, Violence, and Murder
I recommend for 8th grade and up.
