Andrew Jackson: The Making of America #2 by Teri Kanefield

4.0

Really informative, and well-written, especially for the age group. I knew a lot about Andrew Jackson and the ways he influenced this country, but now I really see what happened in much more detail. While it was somewhat unpleasant to read about this unpleasant man, it was incredibly informative and I found myself reading small chunks to my husband out loud. Middle school students will find a lot of information laid out well in this book. The sidebars about political parties and the Constitution and other subjects that needed a bit of background were well-placed and offered just enough information to be useful without being overwhelming.
