Secrets of the U.S. Civil War
Readers won't learn many "secrets" from this set, making it supplementary to most collections.

Each topic, mainly illustrated with black-and-white photographs, is briefly covered; fact sidebars and definitions of technical terms provide supplemental information. The last chapter is an unfortunate hodgepodge of topics. Critical thinking questions using the Common Core are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Bizarre Things We've Done to Our Bodies
Additional purchases.
This hi-lo book's content isn't as strange as it could be. The discussion barely scrapes the surface of bizarre, nibbling on such tidbits as contemporary carnival food (e.g., deep-fried Oreos), hardtack from sailing ships, a smattering of historical facts about royalty and banquet customs, and Jell-O. The slight content is enhanced by contemporary and archival photos and illustrations. Reading list. Glos., ind.
