The Constitution Kids

Beschreibung

Alex, Kali, and Roman are three fifteen-year-old friends who live in a small town. Alex is a great communicator, Roman is a bit of an inventor, and Kali is an intuitive empath. It's summertime, and an adventure is triggered when they find themselves in the middle of a protest outside the local library by people who want to ban certain books. During the protest, people are focused on what they believe to be their Constitutional rights, causing the three teenagers to realize how little they know about the Constitution. In their search for answers, they discover a book with magical properties, which becomes a catalyst in helping them discover what the Constitution is really all about. Join the teenagers as this mysterious book enables them to travel through time and space--bringing to life historical figures like Ben Franklin, Wyatt Earp, Alice Paul, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and many more. Each of these historical figures will teach them about the original Constitution and its amendments. Through the eyes of these three teenagers, you'll be able to explore what it was like when the original Constitution was signed. You'll even travel to other countries, like Russia, where you'll meet Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in a field within the Gulag where he was imprisoned. The Constitution, by itself, can be a difficult document to read, but The Constitution Kids will bring it to life with unusual experiences, humor, and fun, no matter your age.
