From East to West With Lewis and Clark

For students ages eight to fourteen, the MY AMERICAN JOURNEY series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction. Each of the ten books recounts highlights from the life of a political, creative, or cultural legend. But to engage a student's interest from page one, a fictional narrator-usually a school-age person who somehow knew the main hero-tells the story with youthful vigor. Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-Page's unique lessons are illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max Lucado's *You Are Special*). Each book also contains study questions and activity pages for every chapter. From 1804 to 1806, **Meriwether Lewis** and **William Clark** led the treacherous landmark expedition from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean that would help map out North America. Theirs is an inspiring story of amazing endurance-never give up!
