American Adventure series

I am writing this not just about this one particular book but about the whole series. I LOVED this series. I read it quite a few years ago and it is what got me into history (hence the name.) This series follows a certain family from boarding the Mayflower to World War Two. It teaches SO much about American history through the eyes of children. You feel like you are actually there! After you finish one book you immediatley pick up the next one. It is so great and I highly recommend it!!!

Looking back in time.
