Make history come alive

I'm not sure how I found this book, but I used it as part of a lesson in conjunction a book study of "Castle in the Attic". The teacher I was working with had the school library order 10 copies for future use. This is not going to be a book kids are going to want to pick up, but they will enjoy it once they do. History is so often presented so dry and boring, this book shows children that people making history are ordinary people with their own problems. I recommend this book for use with how the Renaissance and Reformation influenced education, art, religion, and government in Europe.
