Gr 3–5—"Benedict Arnold has been remembered as both a hero and a villain. What do you think?" With clarity and insight, this series shows just how slippery the slope between fame and infamy can be. With a focus on the subjects' motives, the authors present information without bias-explaining, for example, that Benedict Arnold betrayed the Colonies because he became bitter after his former supporter General Washington "issued a public reprimand about Arnold's behavior." The authors leave it up to readers to decide which side of the moral divide the men come down on. Bold, dynamic layouts attract the eye, while the colorful, high-resolution illustrations and photographs are perfect complements to the texts. Final sections encourage even more critical thinking and Common Core-relevant activities.
