American Adventure is a Christian US history paperback series by Barbour Publishing Co. for ages 8-12 and up.  The series is an excellent introduction to American history.
Kids are the main characters in these exciting adventure stories. Readers will experience the children's daily way of life and encounter historical events as seen through a child's eyes at the time. They will discover how it felt to experience the stock market crash, live through the Great Depression, send loved ones off to war, hear that Japan surrendered in World War II, and more.
The American Adventure books are written from a Christian perspective and include Bible verses, prayers, hymns, and moral lessons related to each story. They emphasize the significance of God in our country's history, the importance of having godly character, the relevance of wholesome family values and traditional gender roles.
