3 story paths, 43 choices and 22 endings make this book a fun way to learn about the Great Depression. Part of the "You Choose" series of non-fiction books, the approach offered by this book is popular amongst tweens. The stories read quickly and provide descriptions of government programs, and events of cultural significance, like the Civilian Conservation Corps and the shanty camps of veterans in the Bonus Army. This series is probably not appropriate for the more serious student, but for those students who are reluctant to read, this series is definitely worth collecting by public and school libraries.
