About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is curious about history but finds standard textbooks dull or intimidating. It is perfect for a student who loves the 'what if' scenarios of science fiction but needs a gateway into 20th-century American history. Through a high-energy graphic novel format, the story follows siblings who travel back in time to the 1960s, turning a lesson on the executive branch into a pulse-pounding adventure. The story emphasizes teamwork and bravery as the protagonists navigate the halls of the White House. While it provides factual information about the Oval Office and the presidency, the emotional core is about the bond between siblings and the wonder of discovery. It is highly appropriate for elementary-aged readers, offering a fast-paced narrative that builds historical vocabulary without feeling like a lecture.
