Lewis and Clark
By Hailey

Have you ever felt like setting your mind off on a wild adventure? Well, why not read Lewis and Clark! This book’s author is, who else than George Sullivan, and sadly has no illustrator. This book is about two young men who are asked to set off on an adventure to find out more about America. Read on to find out more!

Of course; as many of you may know, the main characters are Lewis and Clark. There are many more characters in this book such as Sacagawea the Indian woman who comes along about halfway through their journey and helps them with directions and speaking foreign languages. Many events happen on the 4th of July. Some very important events that didn’t happen on that day are when Lewis and Clark set off on their adventure and when they reach the Pacific Ocean. There are many more events and characters that I have no doubt you’d want to read about!

There is so many excellent reasons why you’d want to read this book, I can’t fit them all! However I can give you a few. Well, one is it’s an excellent, wild, adventure that makes you feel like your actually on the expedition across America with Lewis and Clark. Another is it sets you back in time, when who knows what you’ll find in the wilderness. And last but not least, this book has very clear primary and secondary sources throughout this book.

I would recommend this book to ages 8-17 because some younger kids may not thoroughly understand it. Basically the main idea of this is tell you about the many excellent books you probably haven’t heard of yet. Remember to check out Lewis and Clark by George Sullivan at your local library or bookstore. Also if you have time check out the series of this book “In Their Own Words”. Have fun reading Lewis and Clark!
