Travel back in time with Gaby, Zoe, and Will to the Presidential Election of 1800, when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr got the same number of votes! Full-color photographs, fact boxes, and more help readers understand more context about the election process and how it has changed over time. The adventure is broken up into short chapters (2 to 4 pages), making information easily digestible. For the reader that wants to go deeper, there is a further information section, a glossary, index, and link to websites. 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.
