Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-These series entries offer interesting glimpses of two historical figures who are not often celebrated. The texts explore their lives, as well as their homelands and the people and events that surrounded them. Jose de San Martin was an early 19th-century Argentinian general whose efforts to free South America from Spain's rule were instrumental to Simon Bolivar's eventual victory. Sor Juana (Sister Juana) was a 17th-century Mexican nun with an intense passion for education, until the Spanish Inquisition put an end to her learning and teaching. The books are written in a clear, easy-to-read style, and include interesting tidbits of trivia that will attract readers. The black-and-white and full-color illustrations, both photographs and period reproductions, enhance the overall presentations.
