"I have heard about these books, but didn't realize they had been condensed for young readers. Since I have had a yen this week to refresh my memory about colonial history and politics, I picked this volume one up from the library. It is a highly readable look at colonial American history from the lens of those NOT in power. If you can't get to the adult versions, try these. Really interesting."
"I was really excited to see a kids' version of Howard Zinn's influential book, A People's History of the United States, at my library. However, I found Volume 1 to be poorly compiled and inappropriate for young readers who don't already have a grasp on the basic timeline of American history. It's refreshing to see the story of the United States presented to children in a way that doesn't shy away from the ugly details of slavery, expansionism, class struggle, etc., but unfortunately I didn't think it would make much sense to young readers."
