CBC Showcase: From the Ancient World
When asked to write a history essay, a very imaginative girl gives a funny, partly factual, partly personal spin on world history.
by Dian Curtis Regan
In her notebook for Mr. Serrano's world history class, precocious fourth-grader Kaley Bluster gives her own unique take on civilizations. Who really ruled Memphis, King Menes or Elvis? Was the Stone Age the birth of rock guitar? Kaley gets into some trouble for being too creative in these humorous, off-the-cuff essays and ink doodles, but why use FACTS when you can use your imagination?
The World According to Kaley is a Junior Library Guild selection.
