Get out the vote!
It's another exciting Monday for Abigail, Zack, Jacob, and Bo -- they are going to jump back to the past to meet Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.!

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Gr. 2-4. In the third entry in the Blast to the Past series, adventures in the mold of the Magic Treehouse and Time Warp Trio books, Abigail and her three pals receive another mission from their social-studies teacher. This time, their time machine lands them in Selma, Alabama, during the voters' rights marches of 1965, and the group must convince a disheartened Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to stay the course--while wrangling an accidentally transported toddler. The series' mysterious epidemic of discouragement among American historical figures doesn't bear much scrutiny, and in this particular scenario, it's a little jarring that none of the kids are African American. Still, children will respond to the portrayal of the lauded history maker as a fallible, approachable human being as well as to the urgent threat of nullified civil rights. Jaunty illustrations and a brisk, plot-driven pace are just right for newcomers to chapter books; perhaps with an eye to streamlining the text for its intended audience, the term blacks is used throughout rather than the multisyllabic African Americans.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| We love this series! My kids are telling anyone who will listen all about Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation or about Alexander Graham Bell and the lightbulb. They are similar to the MAGIC TREE HOUSE series but written for a slightly more sophisticated reader |
