I know that this book is for middle school world history, but I just want to clarify that I am not in middle school. I just read this book for a little review on world history because I mostly forgot everything I learned.

This book was a nice book for a review. But it was a bit too long, which was mostly because of the large fonts and many graphs and pictures, which made me take longer than necessary for the book.

Anyway hope this helps.

Enjoy 😘

A very interesting recap of world history. An easy read and despite it taking a very US-centric view, it was quite informative.

Great overview for anyone who needs a history refresher. Although it is way too light on Napoleon. He needs his own chapter at least.

These books are the best. Here is who these books benefits aside from the intended audience of middle schoolers: anyone who for whatever reason didn’t learn the basics on the subject and needs an easy overview. That’s me! I own all in this series and the world history is the first one I read. I highly recommend these books for any age.

Good as always. I would say US history is slightly over-represented in this book and maybe it is a huge summary of what happened in history but overall, recommended.

Christian myth is not historical fact.

This is a great book that covers all the standards for public school in our area. It is also fun which is important when keeping a 6th grader on track.

Loved this book and the way it is set out and I’ll keep it for a reference book to go back to and learn more about history.
