Carson for Young People
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I purchased this Rachel Carson biography from the Ideas on Trial series for my 11 year old daughter after she had read and enjoyed another book from the series. This is a wonderful book that tells Rachel Carson's story from her nature walks with her mother as a young girl through to the publication of her world-altering book Silent Spring. The book is well paced for its audience and manages to remain engaging through to the end. In addition to the story of Rachel Carson, the reader learns about the conservation movement and other things through supplemental information contained in text boxes interspersed throughout the narrative. The result is as complete an understanding of Carson and the world that shaped her into the person she was as one could find in a book for this level. Highly recommended.
