[quote=Anonymous]My son is in 6th grade, but he loves to read non-fiction. There is a young adult version of "The Untold History of the United States" by Oliver Stone that he really enjoyed. It doesn't necessarily focus on WWII, but there is a lot of information about WWII in there, and a lot of primary source information, which is unusual for a young adult book (or any book really). He also liked "The Bomb" by Steve Sheinkin, a young adult book that focuses on the development of the atomic bomb. And I know that this seems kind of off topic, but he also read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. He had a lot of questions about communism when he was reading about WWII, and this book answered some of them. There is really an excellent module on Teachers pay teachers that goes through Animal Farm in detail. My son obviously didn't want to do all of the work associated with the module, but he really enjoyed reading through the sources and discussing the questions. [/quote]
