The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden & the Trial of the Century by Sarah Miller
4.0
This investigation of Lizzie Borden's case is really well-written. It's written in a way that is readable for young adults, who tend to stray from the fact-heavy stuff. While it's got tons of facts, obviously, they are blended together and told in novel form and I really like that.
I really liked the extra information contained in the boxes. It added depth to the world. I do wish there had been a chapter at the end that had laid out the evidence bit by bit so that readers could evaluate it. It would have been a good exercise in critical thinking for my kids. (Not that you can't do that with the book as a whole, just that a concise chapter would have been good.)
