(4) YA Story of Mexico series. These historical volumes provide well-sourced information about Mexico. The series covers Spain's conquest of the Aztecs in the sixteenth century up through the Mexican Revolution in the early twentieth century. Photographs and archival reproductions help break up the texts, but overall, the series's design is uninspired, which may be off-putting to readers. Timeline, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these Story of Mexico titles: Benito Juárez and the French Intervention, Cortés and the Spanish Conquest, The Mexican Revolution, and The Mexican War of Independence.
