The Monkey Trial: John Scopes and the Battle Over Teaching Evolution by Anita Sanchez

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

A fascinating exploration of a unique event in American and Tennessee history. Even living nearby and being somewhat familiar with the story, I was genuinely surprised by many of the details and was captivated by how we are repeating this same history 100 years later, especially in our history classrooms. This is a brief, narrative examination of the history and subject, filled with photos and lots of back matter. I think students interested in this type of nonfiction will be engaged throughout.
