Never Turn Back: Father Serra's Mission

This is a good easy to read book for California history, taught in 4th grade. It conveys the motives of Junipero Serra's mision Sagrada to establish missions in Alta California. It also emphasizes the views of the indigenous peoples who were affected. Good for an introduction for 4th grade students.
