Vivid storytelling and authentic dialogue bring history to life. Tangled History lets readers experience pivotal historical events through the eyes of real people. Suspenseful, dramatic events unfold in chronological, interwoven stories from the different perspectives of people who experienced the event while it was happening. Narratives intertwine to create a breathless, "What's Next" kind of read. Students gain a new perspective on historical figures as they learn about real people struggling to decide how best to act in a given moment.
