Reviews for The Story of Thomas Jefferson

Award-winning Maine writer, Lisa Trusiani, has done it again--presented history to young people in a succinct and powerful manner. Her take on the life and times of Thomas Jefferson includes both the glories and the contradictions of the man. A deep thinker on the topics of freedom, democracy, and equal rights, Jefferson nonetheless denied the full humanity of enslaved people. This accessible book topples no giants, but also refuses to skirt difficult issues. I, for one, will be using it with my public school students. --Charlotte Agell, Teacher and Writer
