The New Nation: 1789-1850 A History of US Book 4 Review
I thought this book was really good, however not for the age group I intended it for. I initially thought this would be a good home school book for history for my 3rd/4th grader. It is a little deep and not what I expected. If you have an advanced student this may do the trick. I was looking for a book that would be engaging for a younget student with interesting facts and written on a younger child's level. Don't get me wrong they are a great series just not what I was looking for. They may come in handy as a refernece book or if we want to read more on a certain topic, however for day to day schooling I'll be getting something else.

The New Nation: 1789-1850 A History of US Book 4 Overview
Beginning with George Washington's inauguration and continuing into the nineteenth century, The New Nation tells the story of the remarkable challenges that the freshly formed United States faced. Thomas Jefferson's purchase of the Louisiana Territories (bought from France at a mere four cents an acre!), Lewis and Clark's daring expedition through this wilderness, the War of 1812 a.k.a. "Revolutionary War, Part II," Tecumseh's effort to form an Indian confederacy, the growth of Southern plantations, the beginning of the abolitionist movement, and the disgraceful Trail of Tears are just a few of the setbacks, sidetracks, and formidable tasks put in the new nation's path. Master storyteller Joy Hakim weaves these dramatic events and more into a seamless tale that's so exciting, how could it be true? But it is--it's A History of US.

Very Imformative and Fun - Stephanie L. Herdering -
Joy Hakim is truly magical in her telling of history. My 4th grader is understanding and enjoying History. Mrs. Hakim has a wonderful way in weaving our history without going into too much detail but letting you know that there is more out there if you want to research an event further.
Great history curriculum - Tabitha Twitchit -
My daughter read most of this series in 8th grade as her home-school history text. She really enjoyed it. It sparked a deeper interest in history for her. I have just bought the first four books which we were missing so that my 7th and 9th graders can read the whole series in this next school year. I think these books tell the history in more of a story form and go into more detail than regular textbooks. That is what makes it so interesting for students.
