Well worth it!
I had a teacher in high school who taught us about the Russian Revolution and WWI using the book Nicholas and Alexandra. It was a great teaching tool and got me hooked. This book does a similar service. The story follows Lanny from ages 13 through 19. Through his experiences, I learned a lot more about WWI, the Russian Revolution and the following "peace" treaty. I'm not talking about just facts. I learned about cause and effect, of the events of the time period. Decisions that still have ramifications today.
