Well-written and explained for a younger audience. This is one I wish I had read as a young child, as it would’ve highlighted true American history for me long before I encountered those truths as an adult. You’ll find yourself rooting for the characters of the Logan family as you read. This book explains and analyzes difficult topics with grace, humility, and compassion.
