(3) 4-6 My America series. These offshoots of the Dear America series offer history lessons in diary form. Two girls comment on events in history--the Jamestown settlement and the Civil War--as they affect their lives. Historical facts and fictional characters and scenerios are well integrated. Each book contains a historical note that fills in some background. My Brother's Keeper includes the text of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
