I have been trying to get this series for our library forever and it finally got here. I am so glad I didn't give up on my quest because this is a lovely early chapter book. Hand to all of your new independent readers. Now I have to work on getting the rest of the series here! :)

Silent Too Long

I can't believe that I haven't posted a book since August! Please forgive me. I have been catching up on my Teen reads, but now I'm back.

Unraveling Freedom

Unraveling Freedom by Ann Bausum

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


During World War One the United States enacted laws which surpressed the civil liberties of certain American citizens. This book asks important questions such as: Why did the government believe that these laws were necessary? Was the government right in passing these laws? Are there parallels today?
