Ideal for reluctant readers and fans of legends, lore, and history. School Library Journal

Series review: Jr. Graphic American Legends

Giving basic biographical information about each selected American legend, a timeline for the legends life, as well as glossary with selected words from the text, this series is a good starting point for youngsters who are curious about these historical figures. The entire series maintains the same comic book-style illustrations that fill each page with color, and words that are contained within the glossary are printed in bold font for easy reference.
