Here, Tonya Bolden, writing in her trademark accessible style, creates a portrait of a time that changed American history both then and now. FDR's First 100 Days and how the United States was changed by it then are closely examined, especially now. The 2009 financial situation is eerily mirrored by that of the late 1920s, and this is a perfect book to help teens understand history and its lasting impact on current events. |
