****** Art recommends it for: anyone interested in how to make history interesting.
"As a History teacher, my students grumble about learning what think is unrelated, outdated and uncool stuff. This book brings history to life as we follow a young man who is to do a writing project for his class. The story is about his relationship w/his Grandfather, his mother and his classmates. Good read all around."- from Art on Goodreads
