(4) YA From the AAA to the WPA, Franklin Roosevelt set up numerous federal agencies under the New Deal. Bolden's use of so many acronyms and lots of jargon ("As for FDR, he was A-OK") can get confusing, especially since the background information is sketchy. However, readers with more than a passing familiarity of the time period and presidency will be hooked. Timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
