For young Americans, it's the beginning of an exciting adventure! For older Americans, it's a trip down memory lane!
For parents and teachers, it's an incredible educational resource! The items on the list are keyed to the subjects of each chapter in the book, so students can go beyond Anthony's story and explore each subject more deeply.
