I really liked the layout of this book. It made it particularly easy to browse through the different revolutions. The book being oversized and laid out like a bound newspaper gave it a feel of being informative. The book was engaging, and would be a great addition to a middle school social studies classroom.

The History News Revolution: The Greatest Newspaper in Civilization sort of resembles a newspaper that talks about important historical events. This particular edition focuses on revolutions throughout history. The 1st revolution is the American Revolution, then the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and lastly the Chinese Revolution.

The History News Revolution is written for students from Grade 6 to Grade 9. It provides mainly general information regarding those revolution. The author, Christopher Maynard tries to make it sound more interesting by interviewing some of the actual people who played influential roles in their revolutions like George Washington (American Revolution) and Mao Zedong (Chinese Revolution). I give the book 5 out of 5 because of its great illustrations, its interesting lay out, and its for its historical information. ( )
