Description

Head out onto the trail with the brave, resourceful, and courageous Sacagawea!

What did 33 men in the 1800s need to find their way through the wilderness on a trip across America? They needed a woman--and they found one in Sacagawea, the Native American teenage mother who helped the Lewis and Clark expedition survive. She and her baby braved floods, hunger, storms, and snakes to help the expedition that opened the West.

Sacagawea: Courageous Trailblazer! tells the life story of this amazing pioneer who endured hardship in her youth but nevertheless became a fearless leader and a role model for generations to come. Readers of all ages will be entertained and educated by the full-color illustrations and historically accurate narrative of this graphical biography.

Gr 4-7--Friends Sam and Libby help tell the stories of the subjects in these graphic biographies. The histories are complete, and most of the time lighthearted. A dog thinks Lewis and Clark should have rented a motorboat, for example. There is, of course, a darker side. Albert Einstein is showed leaving Nazi Germany. Still, the dialogue tends toward being jovial. The writing is completely engaging. The illustrations go a long way to further engage the audience. Additional biographical information is appended in non-graphic form in a "Did You Know?" section. There is a time line, bibliography, glossary, and index to finish off each title. VERDICT These are fine selections for libraries' growing graphic nonfiction collections.
