Michael and Derek go to visit a Civil War museum with their grandmother.
Not exactly what these children who play video games are really
interested in doing. But before they know it they walk through a
door straight into a realistic depiction of 1863. They see the destruction
at the battlefield of Antietam, and even meet President Lincoln. Soon, they start to wonder if it's really a game, after all, and suddenly they're racing
across Confederate occupied land to return to their own time before it's too late.
Ages 7-11 $17.99 G.P. Putnam A great book for older children to
learn about history. Patricia Polacco really captivates the children.
