(3) 4-6 My Name Is America series. In two books written in journal format, Myers paints a vivid picture of sixteen-year-old Joshua's experience on his first cattle drive in 1871 and creates a credible voice for young Scott, whose early excitement is quickly tempered by the carnage at Omaha Beach. Historical notes, maps, and archival photos are included at the back of each book.
