The Underground Railroad: An Interactive History Adventure (You Choose: History)

I read the American Revolution version with my 4th grade class during a historical fiction unit and found they enjoyed it so much I bought several more of the books for my class. During independent reading time they really enjoyed picking these to read. A modern update to the "Choose your own ending/adventure" I had as a kid but with lots of relevant information. I would say they are best for most 9-12 year old readers.

This book was mentioned by a presenter at a state-wide reading conference. I used it my elementary classroom and students wrote a readers theater with this book.

I purchased this book for my 9 year old niece since it was deemed age appropriate per the description. There isn't any gore, detailed descriptions of violence, or anything sexual but it is a VERY real book regarding living in this time. So I think it's age appropriate for 8 to 11 year olds IF you are okay with dark themes for your child. There's nothing false in the book (admittedly I didn't do all of the adventures but I did at least 5) but slavery is a dark theme and I'm not sure there's a good way to make it appropriate for children in a choose your own adventure format. Ultimately I did not give this book to my niece because she's still a kid and whether right or wrong we're still "protecting" her from some of the horrors of humanity. But I think if you want your children to be exposed to the truth of history I think this is a good book but I would definitely read it with them since I think it could be upsetting and result in a lot of questions.

This is a "choose your own adventure" book. My son learned a lot about slavery in America, and the horrors of being enslaved...in a book suited perfectly for the 7-11 year old child. I highly recommend. He has been through the book several times choosing different scenarios.

MY fifth graders love these choose your own path books. I read them aloud and then the whole class votes on what the character should do next. After we have finished a path they always beg to go back and read the alternative choice. It is a good way to have fun and learn history.

It's a fun read but I wish it carried the paths further.

Great set of books. My 8 year old son loves this one. He's one of the top readers in his school, but these are good for quick, informational reads for him.

kids love it. these are great books for 5th grade and up, they were so excited to receive this and couldn't wait to read the books! Fun choose your own ending, but also they learn something in the process

Excellent and speedy service. My granddaughter was so excited to recieve it.

Very interesting book
