My Name Is America: The Journal Of Sean Sullivan, A Transcontinental Railroad Worker

My 4th grader loved the story and learned about the building of the transcontinental railroad and the interactions of the workers.

Loved the book. However, because the story and names are actually fiction, I was really disappointed.

Good

great books my grandson loves them and he gets learns American history.

Great book!

I know this book was ment for boys, but sometimes girls like to see what life for a boy was like in history. There are really only two books in the My Name is America that do not have bad words in them (or slang for bad words).

My son ABSOLUTELY loves these books they're great!

" I saw my first scalp today and I have to admit it scared me good." That's only the begging of The Journal of Sean Sullivan. William Durbin wrote the book. It's a book about boy who writes in it and the book is his journal. He tells what happens on different days. What I liked about the book was that it was interesting and it was like no other book I have read before. What I didn't like was it kept skipping days and it made it hard to follow. The style the author writes is both diary and journal style. He also writes about things in the past. This book is a journal and it has some historical fiction in it. I'd recommended this book to any one who likes to read about someone's experience or history. Some of his other work is The Journal of Collin Pendleton. It's about World War two and a guy writes in his journal. You should try to read one of these books because you can learn about what people did in the past to make your life easier. Who knows you might even like the story.
