Reviews

"…this is a good solid history of the U.S. Constitution, the founding fathers, how the delegates were selected, the major issues, the process, and how conflicts were resolved. The basis are written in a manner that is easy to read and understand…Children will get a good basic understanding of the constitution and how and why it works and is still relevant as well as the founding fathers."

Southern Maine Library District, March 7, 2013

"A crucial addition to secondary school libraries and government studies classes, the series uses recent and historical events to engage the young reader. While it is predictable that the Constitution is featured along with the three branches of government, it is rare to find a separate title devoted to U.S. security agencies . . ."

Library Media Connection, May/June 2013

". . . well researched and informative."

The Horn Book Guide, Spring 2013

"This thorough nonfiction book . . . entertains yet informs, and will provide a super background on the subject. It should be required reading for all young people so that they have a background about the building of their country’s government . . . This is a systematic and informative book."
