A companion series to the highly popular DEAR AMERICA series, MY NAME IS AMERICA features stories that are part fiction, part fact, told through the eyes of young boys from ages 12 to 16. They come from different countries and different backgrounds to make a new life in America. And, like their predecessor series, these historical fiction novels tell about how people lived, their tragedies, their triumphs, and the historic events that took place during their lifetimes. With characters ranging from cowboys, to miners, to soldiers, to baseball players, these adventures have been enjoyed by boys and girls alike. Their stories are exciting to read and a great way to find out more about what growing up in a different era of American history would have been like. Read on!
