Kathleen Krull also recently did a beautiful book on Houdini. BEATUIFUL book!
Pre-1950, but thats what came to mind. Hey, I'm still open to that lunch next week when I return.

Thanks for the reminder, Don. I'd had my eye on the Houdini book, but then I totally spaced it when we did 1875-1925. I'll catch it next time around, though.

Chris, good list, again! do you read these out loud to your son? We're still in that stage (I read to my son), though Jr. reads a little bit. Also, have y'all read Deborah Wiles's book about the Civil Rights Movement? If so, how is it?

Thanks, Susan. Some of these books he reads to himself, some I read to him, and some he wants to absorb both ways.

No, I haven't read "Freedom Summer," but I just added it to my to-get list. Thanks again!
