(3) YA Full of attitude and impertinence, this book encourages students to question their textbooks and challenge their teachers on everything from the early explorers to the Obama election. The fresh, edgy text combines with archival images and photographs to provide a thought-provoking presentation of American history. Quirky captions, humorous sidebars, silly quizzes, and ridiculous puzzles add to the fun.
