I Purchased the six books in this series for my granddaughter. We had seen these books in Williamsburg while on vacation there, and were impressed at the time. Now that she is old enough or at least close to being old enough we thought she would enjoy them. I read al six and thought they were well done and would be fun for her to read as well as being instructive as to how people lived in the 18th century.
Each of the books deals with a child and their family, how they dealt with some of the problems, politics and their general living conditions. The individuals all had different backgrounds from being a slave to a working class family, to a wealthy politiical involved family, and somewhere in between. Therefore by reading all of the books in the series you can get a feel for the entire community.
They are definitely written for children but as I said I think they will be interesting for most children.
