Description: Literature Links to American History, 7-12: Resources to Enhance and Entice connects a broad range of literature genres—including fiction, biography, graphic novels, CDs and DVDs—to American history. Books are arranged chronologically according to the time period they cover, beginning with North America before 1600 and ending with a chapter entitled “Since 1975.” The guide lists books set during the American Revolution; books about slavery and abolition; books about women's rights, World War I, and the Great Depression; and more.

Listed titles are in print and were positively reviewed by major journals. They were chosen because they each offer a different perspective or overview of historical events or personages in American history that will enrich readers and entice them to explore additional sources.
 Title Features:
 Annotations include bibliographical information, a short overview of the content, and applicable prizes
 Author/illustrator, title, and subject indexes make finding the right book easy
