What was it like to be at the Constitutional Convention? This character squad does the hard time-traveling work for you—just open the pages to tag along and learn with them. Follow Gaby, Zoe, and Will as they visit the Philadelphia State House during this monumental event in our country’s history. The adventure is broken up into short chapters (2 to 4 pages), making information easily digestible. Fact boxes, full-color photographs, and illustrations fill the pages, and the book also includes a further information section, glossary, and an index. Note that the main body text is very light and several speech bubbles and fact boxes are even smaller, so this might not be an ideal option for a newer reader.
