A collections of essays and prose on the American Revolution. There is nothing new or mind-blowing in this collection, but it is a good overview of some of the issues surrounding the Revolution. The writing is not so academic that you need a PhD in history to understand. Might even be acceptable for a middle-grade reader. Although not the most in-depth read out there, it is worth the time.

I loved this book of essays by great young adult nonfiction writers. The idea of using a year in the life of the world, and capturing events of that time is brilliant. And I learned a lot. For example, I learned about the painter Marie LeBrun, who painted the queen of France, and the importance of style of clothing before the French Revolution. I learned about the the beginning of the study of Geology, which sounds dry, but since dating of the Earth was actually a religious question, was anything but. And the story of the mutiny on the HMS Bounty was a fascinating close to the book. Some of these essays would be great reading for World and US History high school classes. (

I really struggled with this, but not in the way that you might think. This ARC/uncorrected proof had a font that was very hard on my eyes (and my current glasses prescription is only a few months old). I'd get a headache after just a few minutes of trying to read, and I tried several times. Looking through this series of essays, it does look like it covers a variety of interesting topics concerning world events from the year 1789. Perhaps I'll see if my library has this and if it's more visually readable, I'll come back here and give this a proper review.

This was such a nice way to expand my twelve year old daughter's knowledge of that time period - beyond her all encompasing Hamilton obsession! It also laid the groundwork for she and I to talk about how the current unrest in the United States may be laying the groundwork for another time of "rebellion, revolution, & change"! So it is a book about what happened in this nation's past, but it also is extremely relevant to what is happening in this nation's present! (

I got a free copy of this in order to review it. However, all thoughts are my own.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the theory of 12 different stories about things happening in the year 1789. I also appreciate that it doesn't just focus on America and England. It really shows that 1789 was a year of revolution and was changing what freedom meant.

This would be perfect to complement a Social Studies or History class. I would have loved to read this in 8th grade or freshman year of high school. Overall, it is a great anthology and was interesting. I think just by the nature of an anthology, I knew some of the stories and I didn't know others. That is why I think this would be perfect for a younger person learning about this time period. (
