[CALIBK12] TARGET: nonfiction books with American government themes

[Jeri Chase Ferris]

Dear Victoria,

This may be a tad lower than 10th grade level, but also may be perfect 
for some of your teacher's students. I suggest my biography of Thomas 
Jefferson, FATHER OF LIBERTY (Lerner Books).

Hope you'll post the resulting list.

Thanks,
Jeri
