Gr 2–5—In this 10-volume series, the subject matter between volumes varies widely, covering everything from basic American geography and history to a concentrated look at specific Native American tribes of California. Titles such as Exploremos los calendarios offer simpler vocabulary and sentence structure and will appeal to a slightly younger audience. Titles like Indígenas de California are clearly intended for readers transitioning into the middle grades. Across all volumes, the quality reproductions of primary sources will provide specific ideas for further research. The contributions of and challenges faced by marginalized groups are well noted, offering a holistic historical perspective that affirms social, racial, and ethnic diversity. A glossary and index are included in each title, as well as questions for further discussion and comprehension.
VERDICT Educators seeking a series that will appeal to a cross-section of students will get considerable value from these practical and up-to-date books.
