Reviews

[Carolyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too much detail made this book confusing and hard-to-follow, not just for my children but for me as well.

[Shiloah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Filled with history about Penn and his time. A bit dry and extremely long.

[Marcus Reeves · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was pretty good.

[Amy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Preferred the bio/info in Story of the World text to this actually.
