About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is seeking a sense of agency or struggling with the consequences of their choices. This immersive history book places the reader directly into the shoes of people living during the Middle Ages, offering a unique opportunity to practice decision-making in high-stakes historical scenarios. By navigating the paths of a knight, a royal castle resident, or a survivor of the Black Plague, children learn about the weight of responsibility and the resilience required to face unpredictable challenges. While the book provides a wealth of historical facts, its true value lies in the emotional engagement of its 'Choose Your Own Adventure' style. It is perfectly age-appropriate for middle-grade readers, balancing the grit of medieval life with a safe, interactive framework. Parents will appreciate how it transforms passive learning into an active exercise in critical thinking and empathy for those living in vastly different circumstances.
